This is part twelve in the "Cases of UPPER" series of blog posts, describing the Raku syntax elements that are completely in UPPERCASE. This part will discuss the various aspects of containers in the Raku Programming Language . Containers and binding This may come as a shock to some, but Raku really only knows about binding ( := ) values. Assignment is syntactic sugar . What? Most of the scalar variables that you see in Raku, are really objects that have an attribute to which the value is bound when you assign to the variable. These objects are called Scalar containers, or just short "containers" . In short: assignment in Raku is binding to an attribute in a Scalar object . Grokking how containers work in Raku (as opposed to many other programming languages) is one of the rites of passage to becoming an experienced and efficient developer in Raku. It sure was a rite of passage for yours truly! In a simplified representation (almost pseudocode ) one can think of these Scalar objects lik
