Dear Alex,

Hi, @2colours !

Podlite is not tied to any specific programming language, so it's not directly linked to Raku.

However, it remains compatible with .pod6 files since it's based on the original Synopsis 26 specification.

Most likely, Podlite is an evolution of the ideas from the original Synopsis 26.😀

Thanks for your interest in Podlite!
with best,
Alex

PS. The link docs.raku.org/language/pod is simply user documentation for Synopsis 26, originally named as Pod, and later renamed to Pod6. However, it remains a page of user documentation.
