Our next technical meeting is back on our regular schedule of the
second Thursday of the month. We'll meet at 3131 W. Alabama on
Thursday, June 13, between 6:30pm and 7pm in the lobby. As usual, we'll
go up the the conference room around 7pm.
Reini Urban will present his work on a next generation version of Perl.
Some are concerned with the recent direction of Perl, with Perl 5
holding back from new features in the name of backwards compatibility,
and Perl 6 continuing in a long-term research and development mode. P2
is one of the attempts to build a Perl 11 (5+6) that combines the best
of both.
This is one of several recent projects that aim to go back to one of
the original goals of the Perl 6 project: clean up the code base to
simplify maintenance and the ability to add new features. The P2
project is also working on a new VM, which could improve
interoperability.
I hope to see you there.
G. Wade
