My first Perl 6 code
Rakudo Star, a useful, usable, “early adopter” distribution of Perl 6, was released today. And later this evening a MSI installer for Windows was released.
I immediately installed it on my laptop after I had fetched the installer and started up Rakudo REPL, an interactive Perl 6 shell. After a quick peek in the Using Perl 6 PDF I tried the following code.
-
> say "test";
-
test
-
> my $line = ‘la di da’;
-
la di da
-
> $line.split(‘ ‘);
-
la di da
-
> $line.split(‘ ‘).join(‘+’);
-
la+di+da
-
I know it’s a completely useless example but it’s cool how it just worked on my first try. Think I’ll experiment some more with Rakudo this weekend.
