Hi there, Around two weeks ago, 9th June 2024, the much awaited Perl v5.40 was released. As always, the production release was packed with cool core enhancements. Thanks to the entire team of volunteers who worked day in day out to get the latest release smoothly. I would like to share my Top #5 core enhancements as below:
Today is the Day 1 of The Perl and Raku Conference 2024 in Las Vegas. The entire day is dedicated for Hackathon. The main attraction of Day 2 is going to be the keynote talk by Curtis Poe and Damian Conway. Who is your favourite speakers at the event? I am looking forward to the talk by work colleague, Julien Fiegehenn. There is another speaker I am looking forward to, Ingy döt Net, who is scheduled to talk about YAMLScript and Clojure. There is another talk, Build a better README, is one of my favourites by Jason Crome. A recent post, Dr. StrangeYAML or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the LLM by Ingy is not to be missed. If you like playing with Enjoy rest of the newsletter. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |

by Mohammad Sajid Anwar (MANWAR) Enjoy a quick recap of last week's contributions by Team PWC dealing with the "Goat Latin" and "Bus Route" tasks in Perl and Raku. You will find plenty of solutions to keep you busy. |
|
|
by Andrew Schneider Loved the story telling format of the post. Above akk the content is quite engaging too. Keep sharing. |
|
by Arne Sommer Keeping it simple and easy to follow algorithm. Just use of regex and substr enough to get the job done. Keep it up great work. |
|
by Bob Lied Line by line discussion of Bus Route task is worth checking out. Impressive work, well done. |
|
by Jorg Sommrey Pure regex solution, a very daring attempt. Kudos for the effort, thanks for sharing the knowledge. |
|
by Laurent Rosenfeld A very simplistic approach yet very powerfull. Raku did score more than Perl in this case with the use of subset. Highly recommended. |
|
by Luca Ferrari Raku regex in action all the way to get the end result. Discussion is good enough to decode the workings. Great work. |
|
by W Luis Mochan Goat Latin is an ideal task for our in-house master of Perl one-liner. The end result is worth checking out. Well done. |
|
by Matthias Muth Perl one-liner with all the magics for you. Once decoded, it appears so simple. Smart approach, I must admit. |
|
by Packy Anderson (PACKY) If you are looking for something fresh, this is the post for you. It is not limited to just Perl and Raku but also Python and Elixir. You really don't want to skip it. |
|
by Peter Campbell Smith Another Perl regex magic approach, TMTOWTDI. I am a big fan of DIY tool as always. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. |
|
by Robbie Hatley Nice breakdown of task is so handy to follow the logic. Keep it up great work and thanks for sharing. |
|
by Roger Bell West (FIREDRAKE) Raku is the choosen language for the blog post. With line-by-line discussion, the algorithm becomes easy to follow. Keep it up great work. |
|
by Simon Green Do you like GitHub Copilot? This post would make you fall in love. Kudos for your effort. |
