TITLE

This resource is all about the Raku programming language. 


This website is not affiliated with the official Raku project: L<https://raku.org/>.
It is an independent knowledge base built and published with L<Podlite|https://podlite.org>.

A L<term index|/indexterms> and search feature are included to help find things easily.

This knowledge base can be handed to an AI assistant, so it answers from these
pages and can name the document it used. Three commands, and what the server
will not answer: L<Connect an AI assistant|file:../mcp/index.podlite>.


More ideas are L<always welcome|https://github.com/zag/raku-knowledge-base/discussions>!


This site is built with L<Podlite|https://podlite.org>, a markup language designed
for flexibility and ease of use — the knowledge base doubles as a real-world showcase
of designing information systems with it.


👋 It's possible to develop and provide support for information systems like this for commercial use.
