Hi there! I am going to give a presentation at the Crystal 1.0 conference alongside Yukihiro 'Matz' Matsumoto and Bruce Perens (just to throw in two names you might be familiar with and to have some honor by association). It is taking place this Thursday. It is my first presentation at an international conference for a long time. Wish me luck! If you cannot make it to the conference, but you are interested in learning Crystal, I am going to start an experimental programming Crystal course via Zoom. You can get more information and register here As for Perl, it was a rather quiet week without a lot of posts, but still there is some nice stuff in here Enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |

by Ricardo Signes (RJBS) P5P has been working on new features for Perl and the CPAN authors had to refrain from using those as they were expected to 'support' old versions of Perl for organizations that don't support the Perl ecosystem and have no intention to upgrade the Perl they use. (In which case, IMHO they should also stick to the old versions of the modules that ran on their version of Perl.) Ricardo now takes the leap and makes it explicit that he is not going to waste his free time doing so. |
