I noticed that nodejs will retry certain IO actions on failure specifically to work around issues on Windows holding handles open slightly longer than one would expect. This type of...
#### "Triple-dot" (`...`) sequences are useful for array indexing/subsetting. But comma-separated "Triple-dot" (`...`) sequences produce bizarre and unpredictable results: ```raku ~ % raku Welcome to Rakudo™ v2023.05. Implementing the Raku®...

Destructuring inifinte ranges and sequences does not work in subroutine signatures. Assignment seems to work: ```raku my ($x, **@xs) = 1..*; ``` But binding doesn't: ```raku my ($x, **@xs) :=...
This is a follow up of https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/5141 and https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/pull/5158 Consider the following piece of code: ``` my $p = Promise.new; my $s1 = supply { await $p; say "processing whenever"...
https://github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/security, and other repos - we should have a method for reporting security issues with the compiler & tools.
