I spent most of my time continuing to refactor Extutils::ParseXS, as a precursor to adding reference-counted stack abilities to XS.

Stefan has now come to a conclusion of his efforts with RakuAST. This mammoth task started previously by Jonathan Worthington. In the time since his award of the grant, he has made 823 commits to RakuAST, and his overall contribution to Raku in the past couple of years is second only to the very prolific Elizabeth Mattijsen. His contributions can be viewed on github. It is impossible to describe all

Tony O'Dell has been working on a modernised and well documented Ecosystem management platform zeco. This is complex work that integrates contributor management and distro management, and is a vital cog in the evolution of a programming language and its accessibilty to its users. The handling of updates and secure,reliable, reproducible access to distros underpins the sustainable viability of such a platform. It was supported by this grant. Key to
