Cro – elegant reactive services in Raku (raku.org)

Took me a while to remember that Raku is the "Perl 6" followon to the still-supported Perl 5, though it has morphed into a very different language.

What's changed since 5.10 days?

Perl to Raku guide - in a nutshell: https://docs.raku.org/language/perl-nutshell

Perl to Raku guide - operators: https://docs.raku.org/language/perl-op

Perl to Raku guide - functions: https://docs.raku.org/language/perl-func


Quite a bit has changed since 2007 for both Perl and Raku.

"This tutorial walks through building a simple Single Page Application using Cro as the backend. For the frontend, we'll use webpack, ES6, React and Redux. "

Webpack? Who wants to build something with webpack these days?

(Criticism of React omitted for brevity)


ok, the only sensible way to use the word "elegant" in a sentence describing something related to Perl is a negation, as in "non elegant".

It’s a good thing the story is about Raku then I suppose.
