I think the motivation for Julia was that nothing delivered both the
performance and flexibility they wanted for numeric programming. C/C++ are
too static and dangerous, Matlab proprietary, (not sure what they don't
like about Octave), Java too verbose and lacking in numeric primitives,
Common Lisp

There is not enough context to answer or even reproduce the problem -
how are the variables declared and what values do they have just prior
to this line? Also, what version of rakudo?

You'll need to read up on the laws in your area, but generally contracts
have IP ownership clauses to ensure the employer ends up with it. Without a
contract, it's seems likely there was no such transfer and you remain the
owner.

Thanks, your script enticed me to explore different ways of
constructing a hash table. I dimly recall something about map having
access to an index variable, but couldn't find it documented so maybe
I was dreaming. The process of figuring out these approaches
highlighted that so much perl6 document
I assume the meaning is, roughly when is the implementation expected
to cover the entire spec?
Answering this is probably an exercise in futility, because its up to
the community and not anyone in particular.

I suggest keeping a separate installation of perl6 if you are going to
use it as root, and maintaining strict permissions by setting an
appropriate umask such as 0077 in root's ~/.profile

The zip operator in this case takes two sequences and interleaves them
into a single sequence. It might be useful if you have handy or can
generate a list of keys and a list of values you want to put together
in pairs using => to create a hash table.
Your explicit approach makes sense for readabil
Perl5 goto &func definitely doesn't grow the stack:
perl -E '$n = 0; sub wah { return if $_[0] < 1; $n++; @_=($_[0]-1);
goto &wah; }; wah(shift); say "done $n"' 1000
But IIRC goto &func is more about fooling caller() than TCO, so its
not that really fast thing some users expect.

I agree that getting Perl6 into the curricula is a good idea, and
comparing it to Python if done reasonably and politely would help the
cause of those who want to migrate their course over.
That said I don't think that those fine folk on Perlmonks are all that
correct about the lack of a business

Tangentally related, I gave this program a go and the first separator
I tried was a space, but found that while other strings work, one or
more spaces doesn't. I tried -t and --t, with or without an equals
sign to no avail:

Built-in facilities for the language to parse, transform and extend
itself (std grammar, macros).
Prospect of multiple back-ends (compile to dotnet or LLVM targets like
Javascript).
Feel like you're living in the future (Perl6 has been in the future
for so long now).
