Live coding in Raku

I wondered if it was possible to type and see the result of running a program, and it turned out it was. I added a small checkbox that turns the playground into this cool working space. In this video, I am solving the two tasks of this week's Weekly Challenge.

The fun fact is that you can select "Perl interpreter" from the examples and feed it a Perl program via STDIN, and that gives you a live-coding environment for Perl, where the Perl code is parsed by Raku, which itself runs in a browser.

My Raku books in web format

I converted (almost) all my Raku books to the same format as the Raku Course. So it's now easily accessible and every topic has its own URL.

The Complete Raku Course is now complete!

Yey, after a pause caused by covid and war, I am back to full speed. I am happy to announce that the Raku Course is now ready: https://course.raku.org.

All the planned items are there. On top of that there are some improvements to the original plan. More on what's new: https://andrewshitov.com/2026/07/15/the-complete-course-of-the-raku-programming-language/

The most exciting addition is probably an online Raku playground, which can serverlessly handle a big portion of Raku right in a browser.
