Some interesting comments. However, it always feels strange when someone asks a question starting with 'why' and then one of the answers starts with 'I disagree'.

Flavio is one of few, who attempted the Gamma function task. Raku and Perl solutions look very identical. Keep it up great work.

by Laurent Rosenfeld

Laurent making good use of Raku power and present us a compact solution. I love how his Perl solution looks so similar to Raku. The discussion is also fun to follow. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

by Luca Ferrari

Method chaining in Raku makes the solution so compact. He even dared to face the Gamma function task. Congratulations.

by Peter Campbell Smith

I loved the Peter's choice of regex and substr() version. I simply love the story telling style. Keep it up great work.

by Roger Bell West (FIREDRAKE)

Thanks for giving us demo of Python. I just love how Roger picks a language to talk about every week. Amazing.
