Can Raku do something like this? I was lightly exploring it recently, and I thought I saw that something like this may be possible with it.
use experimental :rakuast;
my $ast = RakuAST::Call::Name.new(
name => RakuAST::Name.from-identifier("say"),
args => RakuAST::ArgList.new(
RakuAST::StrLiteral.new("Hello world")
)
);
Edit: I should have looked deeper, `DEPARSE` does exactly this:
https://docs.raku.org/type/RakuAST
Neat!
$ raku -e 'say Q|say "Hello World!"|.AST'
RakuAST::StatementList.new(
RakuAST::Statement::Expression.new(
expression => RakuAST::Call::Name::WithoutParentheses.new(
name => RakuAST::Name.from-identifier("say"),
args => RakuAST::ArgList.new(
RakuAST::QuotedString.new(
segments => (
RakuAST::StrLiteral.new("Hello World!"),
)
)
)
)
)
)
