So, is "Rakudo Star" meant to be a parallel release series, sort of like Perl 5.12.x vs 5.13.x are now, or are the monthly Rakudo releases we've been seeing going to be named "Star" at some point? I thought I read recently that "Star" would be coming in June. -- Darren Duncan

Re: Something wrong with str.reverse

Nothing wrong with 'reverse', its acting exactly as specified. 'reverse' changes the order of a list. A string is considered a single entity in perl(6), unlike other languages where a string is an array of characters. So in order to get 'reverse' to work on a string, it first needs to be tur
