The user enters a desired language by a two-letter ISO code and creates a 'Date::Name' object that provides the appropriate abbreviation or whole name for calendar days-of-the-week or months.</p> <p>Currently, the module provides data for 13 languages, and I would love to have more added by native users of the submitted language. It doesn't take too much programming experience, and it's a great way to (1) get an introduction to the Raku language and (2) contribute something useful to the World. See the module and its README at <a href="https://github.com/tbrowder/Date-Names">Date::Names</a>. Also see the instructions for <a href="https://github.com/tbrowder/Date-Names/blob/master/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md">CONTRIBUTING</a>.</p> <p>Note: Raku is Larry Wall's language which was originally realeased as Perl 6, but it was later renamed Raku to avoid confusion. See more about the Raku programming language at <a href="https://raku.org">Raku.org</a>. We are a kind and welcoming community.
