Stefan Seifert has been very busy with RakuAST this week, fixing about 5 test-files a day! And getting closer to the point where we can think of setting a date for the release of language level 6.e! Good stuff!

In RakuAST developments this week:

• The number of passing test-files with the new Raku grammar are now 142/153 (make test +0) and 1118/1355 (make spectest +33).

Winding down

Otherwise, it feels like a lot of people are on vacation and/or having a good time with (new) kids: congrats JJ Atria and Daniel Sockwell (and their partners of course :-).

This week also brought the news of the passing away of Abe Timmerman (aka ABELTJE). A good friend. They will be missed!
