Suggestion - Data Structure and algorithm in Perl/Raku

[rai-gaurav]

While going through github I found some github repository which talk about data structure and algorithm in different languages (mostly python).
A quick google search on data structre and algo for github given me lot of link with implementation in different languages (again mostly python)

Few of them are (top rated)-
https://github.com/TheAlgorithms
https://github.com/keon/algorithms

In 'TheAlgorithm' repo i found they have implementation in almost every language except Perl.
So, I just thought of why we don't have any such repo (Pardon my ignorance if we have).
I know some of us will this this is trivial, but for a new commer(who just freshly graduated) such things are boon. If we want to attract new people in community we should have data structure and algorithm in Perl/Raku.

So, just a suggestion , is it possible to have this thing as weekly challenge ? (say implementation 'sorting/tree' etc. in Perl/Raku) and have a separated repo for all DS implementation in Perl/Raku ?
I think both Perl and Raku will benefit from this (especially Raku).

@sudo-batman Thanks for your suggestions.
Personally I love the idea of putting Perl/Raku on the list of languages.

However, there is one issue, having task as weekly challenge wouldn't make any changes unless we ask the members to go and push the solutions there as well.

I think, we could suggest the members and let them go take it further at their own pace?
I am open to suggestions.

Totally agreed. This will not make sense unless we have a common repo where this can be put for future references.
Maybe we can have something like 'Data Structures and Algorithm in Perl' repo under https://github.com/Perl and similar under https://github.com/Raku ?
Just a thought on top of my head. Feel free to disagree.

@sudo-batman I liked the idea. Please give me some times and I will re-collect my thoughts and write a proposal as short blog and put forward to the members of Perl Weekly Challenge Club.
Thanks for your contributions.
