From doomvox at gmail.com Sat Nov 18 02:48:38 2023 From: doomvox at gmail.com (Joseph Brenner) Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2023 02:48:38 -0800 Subject: [sf-perl] The SF Perl Raku Study Group, 11/19 at 1pm PDT Message-ID: "... we not only wanted to fix things that we already knew were suboptimal, but we also wanted to do a better job of responding to cultural change, because we simply don't know what we'll want in the future. So we though about how best to future proof a computer language, much of the current design is about maintaining careful control of identity, mutability, dimensionality, typology, and extensibility over time, so we could isolate changes to minimize collateral damage." -- Larry Wall, introduction to "Fundamentals of Perl 6" (2017) The Raku Study Group November 19, 2023 1pm in California, 9pm in the UK An informal meeting: drop by when you can, show us what you've got, ask and answer questions, or just listen and lurk.
