Hi all,
I am working on updating Guix's version of the compiler/related tools
for the Raku programming language. The current versions are from March
of 2019, which makes them pretty out-of-date given Raku's monthly
release cadence.
This first patch is for MoarVM (the virtual machine that Raku runs on)
which is a dependency for later packages. I note that, unfortunately,
the output of this package is currently non-deterministic; however, the
same is true of the 2019 version so that non-determinism isn't a
regression.
This is my first Guix package so I'd welcome any feedback you might
have. I will follow up shortly with three additional patches that
Guix needs in order to provide an up-to-date Raku compiler.
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Daniel

(description
- "Short for \"Metamodel On A Runtime\", MoarVM is a modern virtual machine
-built for the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler and the NQP Compiler Toolchain. Highlights
-include:
+ "MoarVM (\"Metamodel On A Runtime\") is a modern virtual machine built for
+the Raku programming language, NQP, and the Rakudo Raku compiler. MoarVM's
+features include:
@itemize
-@item Great Unicode support, with strings represented at grapheme level
-@item Dynamic analysis of running code to identify hot functions and loops, and
-perform a range of optimizations, including type specialization and inlining
-@item Support for threads, a range of concurrency control constructs, and
-asynchronous sockets, timers, processes, and more
-@item Generational, parallel, garbage collection
-@item Support for numerous language features, including first class functions,
-exceptions, continuations, runtime loading of code, big integers and interfacing
-with native libraries.
+@item Just-in-time compilation of running code, allowing MoarVM to identify
+and optimize hot functions/loops. Optimizations include type specialization,
+code inlining/elimination, and on-stack replacement.
+@item Unusually strong Unicode support enabled by strings represented at
+grapheme level and an embedded copy of the Unicode Character Database
+@item Support for numerous Raku language features, such as delimited
+continuations, first-class functions, resumable exceptions, runtime code
+loading, bounded serialization, and native calling/pointer manipulation.
+@item The low-level concurrency primitives required to implement Raku's
+high level concurrency system.
