Bonus Xmas – Concurrent HTTP Server implementation and the scripter’s approach

First of all, I want to highlight Jonathan Worthington‘s work with Rakudo Perl6 and IO::Socket::Async. Thanks Jon!

I like to make scripts; write well-organized sequences of actions, get results and do things with them.

When I began with Perl6 I discovered a spectacular ecosystem, where I could put my ideas into practice in the way that I like: script manner. One of these ideas was to implement a small HTTP server to play with it. Looking at other projects and modules related to Perl6, HTTP and sockets I discovered that the authors behind were programmers with a great experience with Object-Oriented programming.
