Cool. I am glad there has been enough support and supporters over the years to push it to the finish. Compiled native executables, concurrency, async code blocks, and much more. I look forward to learning as soon as I get a chance. Hoping that companies adopt as well.


compile native executables

How does that work? is the moarvm bundled in the executable?


It doesn't, no idea where the OP got that idea from. 'Fakecutables' bundling interpreter and bytecode might arrive in the future, though.


I got it from here (page 33):

So probably not "native" executables, but compiling and optimizing nonetheless.


That refers to precompilation to MoarVM bytecode. You can do that manually right now, but eventually, a precompilation cache will be managed by Rakudo.
