[yapc] Perl 6 Lists and Arrays vivified: lazy, infinite, flat, slurpy, typed, bound, and LoL'd

[YAPC::NA Director]

Patrick Michaud will give a talk at YAPC::NA_2012 described as:
     One of the significant new features of Perl 6 is its support for lazy
     and infinite lists, arrays, sequences, and other data structures.
     However, these new features have far-reaching impacts on the whole of
     Perl 6 design and implementation. Over the past several years there
     have been many attempts at a coherent design and implementation of
     Perl 6 lists, each leading to new challenges to be addressed and
     resolved.
     In this talk Ill shed some light on Perl 6 lists, arrays, sequences,
     and other structures, explaining some of the fundamentals of how they
     work and can be used in Perl 6 programs. Lots of examples will be
     given, with particular emphasis on the lazy, infinite, and flattening
     behaviors of lists and some of the new range and sequence operators.
     Ill also describe how these features have affected Perl 6
     development, including an introduction to some of the newer data
     types such as LoLs, Parcels, Captures, Iterators, and Positionals.
     Come to this talk and learn how Perl 6s list features can result in
     more elegant and faster code.
