Hi there
Hanukkah, the 8-day celebration of the Jews returning to Jerusalem and the
rededication of the Temple on the Temple-mount is now over. We ate way too
much and the UN passed only one resolution trying to eliminate the
historical ties of Jews to this hill. Very good timing.
Now onto Advent!
How often do you remember to thank Mark Gardner for his extraordinary posts
about Perl? I think I have only thanked him once. Maybe I should set up a
cron job to send him a thank-you note every month. Or maybe I should leave
him a tip ( https://phoenixtrap.com/tip/ ). Finally he set up a system
where we can give him a one-time tip or, IMHO better yet, a recurring tip.
It is so nice to see month-by-month that people still value your work even
if they are too busy or too embarrassed to say it themselves.
Enjoy your week!

I love the use of type in Raku solutions. Having said that, I haven't seen
many using the subroutine return type constraint. I would like to see
