Hi there! Yesterday was my birthday. Usually we go out for a dinner with my family, but this time it did not feel appropriate, we are not really in the mood of celebrations. Then I realized this year I'd like you, dear readers, to do me a favor, read my birthday wishes and help make them come true! Please, don't send a mail with Happy Birthday in it unless you read my wished and can also comment on them. Thank you! I mentioned earlier that I struggle finding Perl-related content to include. Last week I looked more thoroughly at the content of what Mohammad sent and I had to realize that the vast majority of the posts are in the Weekly challenge section. There are hardly any other posts. So I was happy to receive a request from Roy Schestowitz to mention the article about A Perl-Based Static Site and Gemini Capsule Generator: The Story of tuxmachines.org and techrights.org In other news I am really glad by all the people who subscribed to my newsletter about Rust. Is is growing at a nice pace. My other newsletter about Israel also got quite a few new subscribers. Even the one in Hungarian about Israel grew. If you are interested in either of these topics and would like to know what I think about them, then subscribe now! If you would like to stick to Perl, then I'd like to recommend checking out the 2024 TPRC Science Track Survey and the calls to volunteer at FOSDEM. Enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |

I have no idea what is a Gemini capsule, but Roy the author contacted me and then wrote a blog post I can link to. So here it is. |
|
by Ricardo Signes (RJBS) I guess there is nothing to do with Perl in this, and I personally don't like horror movies, but I love to see the passion of Ricardo and that he makes all this public. | 
|
|
by Herbert Breunung (LICHTKIND) First I thought he is writing about the programming languages, but apparently not. He just released an application called Juliagraph for drawing Mandelbrot and Julia fractals. |
|
Is Perl still relevant? ask the author, tags the question with perl. Is there anyone in the Perl community who would want to comment on this? |
|
Survey officially closes on Thursday, November 23, 2023. |
