perl6

Decided I wanted a copy of “Learning Perl 6” before it becomes “Learning Raku”.

But I give my bookshelf room for nostalgia.

And of course I needed a physical copy of the 20th Anniversary Pragmatic Programmer.

Haven’t done anything interesting related to Perl 6 for years, but I still subscribe to the Perl 6 Weekly blog. Several links caught my eye this week.

• Jeff Goff started a fresh series on implementing Template Toolkit in Perl 6.
• Madeleine Goebel is making great progress on a GSOC project making perl6 produce executable binaries
• Andrew Shitov wrote a pleasant baby steps sort of intro on using NativeCall for accessing C libraries from Perl 6.
• Some sort of Chef/Ansible style task runner, called Sparrow6

Anyways, back to work and Python, which is also fun!
