Hacker News Reader

There is one being developed, it will be available at try.rakudo.org.

See http://github.com/moritz/try.rakudo.org for the source code.

For windows binaries, go to http://www.jnthn.net/perl6/rakudo/Rakudo-Star-2010-07.msi, which is where I got it. It may no t be the standard location, so I am not sure how long it will be available.

This is now available via the downloads page linked from the announcement, as well.

Not exactly the most optimal way, but you can hop on to the IRC channel #perl6 and run code there using one of many codebots. Admittedly, you are limited to one-liners here. And, your code will be public, so it's not like running in the "comfort of your own session".

You can send private messages to the bot and it will reply to you with the result ... so no problem there.

The one liner limitation still apply, but they can be very loooong one liners ;-)

See http://colabv6.dan.co.jp/lleval.html which includes perl6 among many other languages. Also its already been updated to Rakudo Star!
