Hi there,
What a great and pleasant surprise announcement of the release of Dancer2 1.0.0 by the Dancer Core Team !!!
I am a big fan of Dancer2, so I follow closely the development of my favourite web framework. If you remember there was another announcement recently about change in the core team as Ruth Holloway joining the core team. I am very happy that it is in safe hand and actively developed/maintained by the core team.
The Hacktoberfest 2023 is still going on. Have you done the minimum pull request required to complete the challenge? If not then you still have time to do. Please make sure you submit your pull request before the deadline i.e. last day of the month. In the year 2019, I managed to submit 160 pull requests in one month. Unfortunately for the last couple of years, I haven't participated in the event because of other commitments.
Do you want to play with AI? Luckily we have Navi AI. I strongly recommend, you give it a go.
Last but not the least, let us all pray for the peace in both sides of the conflicts. I don't watch news these days as they are full of heart breaking news.
Enjoy the rest of the newsletter.

TWC238
CPAN is always handy when it comes for regular use. The end result is compact and concise.
Persistently Running
The cool use of map in Raku, although gather/take could do the job. Plenty of choices available for you in Raku.
Running Sum, or "I ♥️ Recursion”"
For first time, I would say this is worth checking. Lots of interesting thing for you to take a look.
Persistence Sort, In Which I Give Up and Use a Global
Recusion seems to be more apt for this task as suggested in the blog post. Well structured post, I must admit.

Having Raku and Perl solutions side-by-side is fun and easy way to learn the tricks. Thanks for sharing.
THE WEEKLY CHALLENGE - 238
Perl and Raku can be so similar doing the same task. Even Python is not far. Keep sharing the knowledge every week.

What a surprise, we got Python for the first time. No wonder, it is the most popular choice after Perl and Raku.
Master of one-liner in Perl is once again sharing another masterpiece. Keep it up great work.
Reduced Arrays, Reduced Numbers, Reduced Code
Nice to know about two cool functions 'reduce' and 'reductions' from List::Utils. Thanks for sharing.
