Editing Raku (programming language) (section)

===A specification===
A major non-technical difference between Perl and Raku is that Raku began as a specification.<ref name="syn01">{{cite web | url=https://design.raku.org/S01.html | title=Synopsis 1: Overview | author=Wall, Larry | date=2004-08-10 }}</ref> This means that Raku can be re-implemented if needed, and it also means that programmers do not have to read the [[source code]] for the ultimate authority on any given feature. In contrast, in Perl, the official documentation is not considered authoritative and only describes the behavior of the actual Perl interpreter informally. Any discrepancies found between the documentation and the implementation may lead to either being changed to reflect the other, a dynamic which drives the continuing development and refinement of the Perl releases.
