Larry update

2000-12-18 Thread Nathan Torkington

I just got off the phone with Larry.  He's been laid up for three
weeks with a trip to Japan followed by a virus from Japan.  He's on
his feet again, and continuing to work through the RFCs.

He's changing the way he's doing it.  Now he's going to try to find
clusters of RFCs on a particular topic, decide, and let us know.  That
way he can release his verdicts bit-by-bit (regexps, objects, etc.)

He's also thinking about the way to spec perl6.  Take perl5's
documentation and modify?  Take the Camel and modify?

It was good to talk to him again.  I had been afraid that he'd given
up and begun learning Python :-)

So Perl 6 will be...Ruby? :-)
