Will be cool to write a terminal app for this, which highlights the current day, and the day of the week so that it will be easier to read.

There's already github.com/coke/raku-cal which is a `cal` implementation.

Which language should I write it in? 😉 🦋 #rakulang

Like `cal`, but with slightly prettier output. Contribute to coke/raku-cal development by creating an account on GitHub.

Huh. #Rakulang surprises me again when playing around with Bufs.

Invoking the reduction operator against a Buf coerced into a list just works:

```
raku -e 'say [+] Buf.new(1,2,3).list;'
6 # The sum of all elements
```

Invoking ANY reduction operator against a Buf directly just returns the number of elements:

```
raku -e 'say [+] Buf.new(1,2,3);
3

raku -e 'say [*] Buf.new(1,2,3);
3
```

This feels like undefined behavior. Shouldn't this be a syntax error?

@bortzmeyer Zig is one of three languages I have my eye on!

- #Zig - Procedural and easier to read than C.
- #Haskell - Functional in the extreme.
- #Rakulang - Can be functional, can be procedural, can be OO. Fantastic grammar / #regex model.

I think they complement each other. Every Haskell guy I have introduced to Raku has loved it. I've known a few people who use Zig when they don't feel like being purely functional.
