Format: :Lisp [![Tests on source](https://github.com/raku-community-modules/Format-Lisp/actions/workflows/test.yaml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/raku-community-modules/Format-Lisp/actions/workflows/test.yaml)
============

Implementing Common Lisp's (format) language for Perl 6 - Mostly because it's an interesting challenge, but partially because it offers much more powerful options than any sprintf-style formatter, including Python and Ruby's. Check out source for the instructions, or this reference manual.

Installation

zef update && zef install Format::Lisp

Testing

To run tests:

Synopsis
