Hi there! Welcome to the new subscribers! December has arrived and with it the season of the Advent Calendars. You might recall that Len Jaffe has an Advent Calendar aggregator called Advent Planet. If you know a running calendar that is not listed there, please contact Len! It lists the Perl Advent Calendar and the Raku advent calendar, and a few more. Ingy dot Net pointed to the YAML Script Advent Calendar. In the previous edition Mohammad sent a call to get sponsor for his Weekly programming challenge. Several people replied to me. Those messages were forwarded to Mohammad as that is his gig. However, I noticed that the link we used to have at the top of the Perl Weekly was only showing up on the web site. I added it back. In a nutshell, if you'd like to spoonsor/financially help the work of Mohammad S Anwar then either contact him or just support him via Patreon. If you'd like to support my work then you can do so either via Patreon or via GitHub. Enjoy your week! Gabor Gabor Szabo |

by Gabor Szabo (SZABGAB) I have been writing about Rust for several months and enjoying it a lot. I think it can be an excellent direction for Perl developers who are interested in something else that is very different from Perl. You are invited to subscribe to the Rust Maven newsletter! |

by Ingy döt Net (INGY) YAMLScript is a new programming language that uses YAML as its syntax. It is a complete, functional, general purpose language, but can also be easily embedded in YAML files to make them dynamic at load time. Most existing YAML files and all JSON files are already valid YAMLScript programs. YAMLScript has a compiler/interpreter CLI program called `ys` and will soon be available as a libyamlscript.so binding module in 42 programming languages including Perl and Raku. |
