NAME

auto-dynamic - automatically vivify dynamic variables

SYNOPSIS

use auto-dynamic;

$*foo = 42;
say $*foo;  # 42

%*hash<a> = 666;
dd %*hash;

@*array[2] = "ok";
say @*array;

&*handler = { say "duh" }
&*handler();

DESCRIPTION

Unknown dynamic variables return a Failure in standard Raku. That may be undesired in some situations.

The auto-dynamic distribution enables the automatic vivification of dynamic variables in the scope in which the use statement is executed. It is the no strict equivalent for dynamic variables.

CAUTION

The functionality of this distribution relies on the current way that accesses to dynamic variables are being turned into bytecode. Which may change at any point in the future. As such, this distribution is more intended as a proof of concept.
