The first Davis Square Tech Social went well, with good conversation,
and a nice mix of area ruby and perl folks (I'd failed to post to the
python list). Thanks to Monte, there's now a mailing list (see below).
There will likely be a second lunch soonish.

What I've lately been fond of explaining to friends is that "Perl6" is
the somewhat misleading name attached to Perl's skunkworks lab. It
develops, implements and tests various crazy ideas for new language
features, the best of which Perl adopts...
Yes, but no. But revealing.

Hi Tom. My thanks for the thoughtful reply.
Doubly so since complete silence would have been quite a bummer.
It's late, but let's see...
My objective is to determine whether to continue working on Perl 6,
and if so, in which of the multitude of possible directions to push.
What is most likely to
Hi Boston.pm,
I'm unsure whether this draft will actually get sent out,
or to where, but since several people have asked about it,
I thought I'd post it here for feedback.
Comments encouraged.
Thanks,

If I could get say 15 minutes or so at the beginning of tonight's meeting,
I would like to get feedback on an idea, and perhaps solicit volunteers.
It looks like there might be a way to bootstrap a perl 6 implementation
rapidly. Rapidly as in a few of weeks. The core idea is to transliterate

The parrot wiki is off the air at the moment. (thus making this on-topic;)
In fact, my entire domain is off the air. Apparently a twiki cgi bug
allowed a compromise, and my email and web hosting provider, Hostway,
responded by silently burning everything to the ground. Dns doesn't
even resolve.

of computes. So some patie

Will it be a stand-alone alternative to Event and POE?

Depending on your objectives and the nature of the data, you might try
a heuristic exploration, finding good neighborhoods at low resolution,
and then exploring nearby placement at higher resolutions. Low-res can
also be a nice place to apply any placement polic
For folks who like to play with Inline, I've cleaned up a copy of my
conflation of Inline::C/CPP and SWIG, and put it up as Inline::SWIG on
http://www.vendian.org/mncharity/dir3/inline/swig/ . SWIG's coverage
of C++ is rather broader than Inline::CPP's (it handles templates and
operators).
