Traipsing through Raku land
summary
raku.land is a distribution browser implemented in Raku that ingests metadata at the top of each hour and serves a read-only site from that snapshot, so pages refresh hourly. It parses meta.json as source of truth, tokenizes names in Postgres for autocomplete via Postgres tokenization, renders READMEs and changelogs, and reads stars from GitHub/GitLab. The codebase is intentionally small, many libraries improved through real use, and current pain points include no dependency lockfile and bespoke syntax highlighting and markdown handling.
