RC-run

Hey, when you get a chance, could you give the latest version of RC-run (April 24) a try? It is especially useful with the -d & -b flags set IMO. If you have any observations or suggestions, I'd be interested. --Thundergnat (talk) 00:49, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

I tried to exercise all relevant combinations of command-line options, and everything is working as advertised. The one problem I found was when I ran multiple tasks from a file, after 'Bitmap_B_zier_curves_Cubic', all subsequent tasks ended up rooted below the first, e.g. 'rc/perl6/Bitmap_B_zier_curves_Cubic/rc/perl6/Card_shuffles/'; for some reason the 'chdir $current' didn't work. One suggestion: If the value of '$view' could be set via the command-line, users on other platforms could more easily view graphical results. --SqrtNegInf (talk) 12:58, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Update: The two items mentioned above were related... When the 'view' command failed in the 'run-it' sub, it exited early, 'chdir' didn't happen. When I set $view as something innocuous, /usr/bin/file, then things were fine. --SqrtNegInf (talk) 18:54, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Doh! Thinko. Line 169 should be .resume instead of return.--Thundergnat (talk) 19:11, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Hofstadter-Conway $10,000 sequence / Perl 6

Removed the 'fast' (and less elegant) alternative version as it no longer has any performance advantage with the current release of Rakudo. At the time of the initial 6.c release (2015.12) there was a nearly 5-fold difference in run times.

Thanks

I wanted to say thanks for all the new the Perl and Perl 6 task implementations you've been writing. Love it! Danaj (talk) 17:40, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
