A public "thank-you" to Lloyd and Eric for their talks.
Lloyd's talk on Parrot had lots of good discussion from the peanut
gallery, and gave me a good idea of what Parrot is, and what to expect it
will be, when it's more complete.
Eric's talk on perl6 was super- shorter than damien, more useful than the
apocolypses, and quite encouraging about the future of perl. I'm looking
forward to following perl 6 developments. And maybe trying out the
Perl6:: modules for perl 5.
There's an amusing kerfuffle where freshmeat recently published a "critique
of where perl 6 is heading" <http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/1339/>
which sumarizes to "I don't understand perl 6 so it's not as good as perl
5"... If only he'd seen eric's talk. ;)
So did you go for drinks, or did everybody make an early night of it?
-Daniel
