So do I!! (wait, was that a ME TOO comment??!?) > Who can practice the demo and lead the demo? Question is (and this I guess is more bikeshedding than anything) what should the demos do? I've read most of the Perl 6 tutorials out there (masak++ moritz++ szabgab++ and several others!) and while it's given me a taste of what's different and interesting, I doubt I'm alone if I'm not hugely inspired without "real-world" examples! So, perhaps this should be a new thread, but let me start off with the first thing that comes to mind: log files. Create Regex/Grammars for three different formats. Read in files in those formats and merge them into a single stream, ordered by timestamp (and/or other criteria), perhaps with some enrichment. Then, extract some basic stats from that stream. Aside from the code constructing the grammars, I expect that the Perl 6 code to do this will be quite succinct! Also, this will give a good chance to show off the readability and power of the Perl 6 Grammars! > Would they want to demo it at LINUXCON in Boston in August too ? That would be a terrific idea, and I plan on being there... -- -- Steve Scaffidi <step...@scaffidi.net> _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list Boston-pm@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
