Portable Rakudo

Patrick Böker — 5 minutes 🦋

Rakudo recently gained the ability to be movable. This allows for a very simple way of distributing programs.

I have spent the last few months on making Rakudo portable. In this lightning talk I'd like to give a short demo on how this enables simple distribution of programs written in Perl 6. If time allows I'll also talk a bit about why this took so long.
