As most of us enter the Summer season, online activities grow a little more quiet. Which is not to say that there are not some strong current under those seemingly quiet waters: amongst other things, Stratopan continues to grow, the Perl5 MOP project is coming back from the dead, and promising new frameworks are showing up on the radar. ~Yanick Yanick Champoux |

Headlines

Articles

News of its demise were perhaps premature. Revitalized by conference pilgrimages and the associated talks and discussions, Stevan Little is returning to the previously stalled p5-mop. Friends of all things OO, dare to hope... |

Only a day after the p5-mop was reported twitching its way out of its early grave, Stevan Little already brings news of progress. Huzzah! |

Discussions
|
by Aristotle Pagaltzis (ARISTOTLE) Aristotle muses on the chains of backward compatibility. Are they preventing us to reach for the stars, or are they something necessary to keep us grounded? Between staleness and revolution, can we find the right evolutive balance? |
Code
|
by Ricardo Signes (RJBS) Ricardo Signes is having loads of fun with StatsD. He also had a pretty puzzling problem with mangled UDP streams. After some troubleshooting, he found the culprit, and shares his findings with us. |

|
by Vyacheslav Matyukhin Vyacheslav Matyukhin shares with us Flux, a promising framework that turns code into a series of tubes. |
|
Sebastian shares his one-liner to pretty-print JSON documents (while other command-line tools get suggested as well in the comment section). |
