Even if you can't make it, there will be a video of the talk available online afterwards. Information follows below: Larry Wall Friday, Oct. 3 7:45 PM 1404 Siebel Center http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/conference/2008/ It has been said that close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades--as long as you count nukes as a kind of hand grenade. But what exactly are you aiming at, and how close is close enough? This talk will be about the past, present, and future of Perl, with a few pointers on how to launch your project, how to steer it while you still can, and when to let it fly off on its own trajectory. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I totally forgot about this mailing list. http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/conference/2008/registration/attendee I encourage everyone to register and pay the $20. While it says it only covers food costs, we use any extra money to fund future conferences. ----- There will be an additional Perl 6 tutorial by Larry Wall, seperate from the Friday night talk; We don't have all the details worked out yet, but this is what we know so far: "The topic will be: How Perl 6 defines a completely extensible parser and uses its own extension mechanisms to parse the various domain-specific sublanguages that are part of standard Perl 6, such as quotes, macros, regular expressions, and even its own grammar." This tutorial/workshop will be Saturday morning, probably from 10a-noon. Once the exact time and place is known, I'll send another email to this list. There should also be signs posted and announcements made during the conference. <> Wow!
