Liz’s Corner

Liz sets out the path Towards more accountability of Raku programs and sheds some light on the mysterious work she’s been doing with SBOM and its friends.

It became clear to me that there had been one elephant in the room that hadn’t been discussed enough: the gradual enforcement of the Cyber Resilience Act in Europe. And how that would affect Open Source, and the Raku Programming Language specifically.

Steve’s Corner

Steve goes on (and on) with HARC Stack: Forming, the 13th in the series, with a short HTML form example – mostly an integration of Cro::WebApp::Form within the HARC Stack stack.

Winding down

This week a very interesting post on the Raku roadmap to deal with the emerging rules on Cyber Resilience. A bit quiet on the Core Dev side of things – hopefully the team is taking a well earned summer break.

Please keep staying safe and healthy, and keep up the good work! Even after week 31 of hopefully only 209.

Meanwhile, still: Слава Україні!  Героям слава!
