Next week, everything will become clear. Otherwise, the past week felt like a slow week. I guess I should stop playing debate-bingo.
Core developments
- Zoffix Znet made the
Exceptionthat is thrown when no matching candidate is found in a multi-dispatch, MMA (Much More Awesome). He also fixed many other errors. - Elizabeth Mattijsen made
dir()about 20% faster. She also madeuse lib 'dir'more than 20x faster, which is especially important if the'dir'is actually a large directory structure. Finally, she also fixed an easter egg. - Dominique Dumont has done a lot of work creating Debian packages of Rakudo Perl 6 and its dependencies.
- cygx made sure that
Enums will smartmatch correctly with the roles that they do. - Christian Bartolomäus and Pepe Schwarz continued their work on fixing stuff on the JVM backend.
- Tobias Leich fixed many problems with
NativeCall, amongst one that now allows the use ofNativeCallon the Raspberry Pi. - Daniel Green worked on replacing low-level
BOOTSTRAPATTRs by more high-levelAttributes to allow for better manipulexity.

Winding Down
As I said, a slow week. This coming weekend we will see another release of Rakudo Perl 6 again. With a ChangeLog of 58 items already, it’s looking up to be a nice one again! And of course, don’t forget to work on your Pull Requests for the Hacktoberfest!
