The change I would most like to see in Perl 5, and why it might not happen
All- Welcome to another Monday summary, which hopefully provides some evidence that Mondays can get better. It always feels like writing summaries is an uphill battle, so perhaps I should switch to writing about Perl 6 Language first and…
As you will note from the date in the title, it’s been a short week. We’re switching back to a midnight Sunday/Monday rollover in order to make life easier for the Perl.com types. So, if I can avoid being…
All- Welcome to another summary, brought to you by Chinese food. The attentive among you will notice that this summary is a day late, because I did not feel like doing it yesterday. If only I could do that…
In case you were wondering, Darwin ports didn’t work its magic and I still don’t have a working Haskell compiler. Thank Juerd for feather, even if I did have to turn my laptop upside down to read the MOTD….
All- Welcome to another Perl 6 summary, brought to you by microwaved Chinese food and air conditioning. I love the modern era. Without further ado, I bring you: Perl 6 Compilers PxPerl Grégoire Péan announced the release of PxPerl…
Welcome to another Perl 6 summary, brought to you by the words "displacement" and "activity." So far today, I’ve caught up with everything unread in NetNewsWire, my Flickr groups, every other mailing list I’m subscribed to, and completed about…
All- Welcome to another summary from the frog house, a house so green you can see it from outer space (according to Google Earth). Perl 6 Compiler Building Pugs Workaround Sam Vilain posted a useful workaround to the error…
My, doesn’t time fly? Another fortnight gone and another summary to write. It’s a hard life, I tell you! This Week in perl6-compiler Where’s Everyone Gone? It seems that most of the Perl 6 compiler development discussions occur at…
All- Long time no see … err, write … uh, read … um … this. Yeah, long time no this. As Piers hinted, two weeks ago I moved. Moving sucks. For those of you who care, I am still…
Surprise! It’s me again. You may be wondering what happened to last week’s summary (I know I was) and where Matt had gone. Well, I’m not entirely sure where exactly he is now, but last week was moving week…
Crumbs. I’ve remembered to write the summary this week. Now if I can just remember to bill O’Reilly for, err, 2003’s summaries. Heck, it’s not like waiting for the dollar to get stronger has paid off. Ah well, no…
All~ Welcome to another Perl 6 summary, brought to you by Aliya’s new friends, Masha Nannifer and Philippe, and my own secret running joke. Without further ado, I bring you Perl 6 Compiler. Perl 6 Compiler Method Chaining Alex…
Note to self: It’s generally not a good idea to go installing Tiger on the day you return from holiday. It’s especially not a good idea to fail to check that it didn’t completely and utterly radish your Postfix…
All~ Welcome ot another fortnight’s summary. Wouldn’t it just figure that I can’t think of anything sufficiently non-sequiterish to amuse myself. Perhaps I need a running gag like Leon Brocard or chromatic’s cummingesque capitalization. Maybe I should start one…
All, Welcome to another week’s summary. This week I shall endeavor not to delete my summary accidentally or destroy the world. Here we go with p6c. Perl 6 Compilers Implicit $_ on for Loops Kiran Kumar found a bug…
The Perl 6 Summary for the Week Ending 2005-04-26 It’s my turn again. What fun. “What,” I hear you all ask, “has been going on in the crazy, mixed-up world of Perl 6 design and development?” Read this summary…
All~ Sadly, a slip of the mouse caused me to delete a partially completed summary, so I am going to push ahead on the rewrite without a witty intro. Feel free to make one up for yourself involving stuffed…
Whoa! Deja vu! Where’d Matt go? Don’t worry, Matt’s still writing summaries. As you may have noticed, Matt’s been writing summaries every two weeks. Now so am I. Because we love you, we’ve decided to arrange things so I…
Perl 6 Language ceil and floor Ingo Blechschmidt wondered if ceil and floor would be in the core. Warnock applies, although Unicode operators would let me define circumfix \lfloor \rfloor (although I only know how to make those symbols…
