The Raku Beginner Tutorial

If you want to get to grips with Raku, formerly Perl 6, there is a 30- part YouTube playlist to get you started with it.
After splitting from Perl 5 and its renaming from Perl 6 to Raku, a move that has cleared up much confusion (see Perl and Raku Both Anticipating Newfound Glory if you missed the story to date)  the time has come to familiarize yourself with the language up and close.
There are many ways to get started, such as with a good book like Think Perl 6 which I awarded a 5-star review when I reviewed it, but what better way to get a quick overview than a few well-made (and free) video tutorials? Yanzhan Yang has provided us with just that and, as a matter of fact, some of the material that he bases his tutorials on comes from the Think Perl6 book.

Europe Gets Its Own LLM

  EuroLLM is a fully open-sourced large language model made in Europe and built to support all twenty-four official EU languages. While several European states have separately produced their own LLMs, such as Greece's "Meltemi" or the recent offering from Switzerland "Apertus", there was no solution that catered for the languages of all 24 states belonging to the EU block. The time has come for this status to change with the appearance of EuroLLM, a foundational model that supports them all. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/18448-europe-gets-its-own-llm.html
