Summary until at least after Christmas.
Thanks to the language folks, Larry, Allison, Damian, and all the
many and various denizens of perl6-language. Following the list has
been an education. Every time I find myself thinking a proposal is
simply poisonous, along comes Larry in fugu-chef mode to extract the
good stuff that sets your mind a tingling and chuck away the stuff that
would leave you paralyzed and dying on the floor.
Yeah, we blowfish appreciate him, too.
Thanks to everyone who ever sent me feedback; I've mentioned Warnock's
dilemma many times in these summaries, it's always good to be gently
lifted from its horns by a word or two of praise or damnation.
Speaking of fishing ...
I'm not about to stop writing. I'm slowly working through chromatic'sJust because Speedo sells an 'XXL' bathing suit doesn't make it a good idea to buy one ...
'Write Your Life' project. It's far easier than summarizing; all the
material I need is already in my head, and I can bash out words even
when I don't have net access.

A regular summary helps the interested but busy people get a grasp of how the Perl 6 project is getting on, and that can only be a good thing.
Sorry things have rather fizzled out; I just didn't realise until I
started quite how demanding this course would be. And I don't just mean
because I've got to wear a suit.
Oh, man! The speedo comment was supposed to be a joke, not foreshadowing...
You, sir, have done a fine job of summarizing two lists. Frankly, I try to read just one in real time and it stumps me: I'm impressed at the amount of work (and free time) you've given us. I appreciate it, and I thank you for it.
That'll do, Piers. That'll do. :)
