The Perl 6 summary for the week ending 2006-02-12
Welcome to part one of this week's summary. Owning to chronic problems
with deadlines I've only got time to summarize perl6-compiler and
perl6-internals tonight; I'll do perl6-language when I get back from
$paying_job on Thursday
Unless Matt takes pity on me, and writes a summary at disgustingly
high speed, there won't be a summary this week. Assorted things got in
the way on Monday or Tuesday, and I'm now at my consulting gig 'til
the end of the week with no time for summarizing.
I'm really, really sorry.

Another year, another summary. You might think I'm going to summarize
the events of the whole year, but it turns out that chromatic's already
done it. So in the spirit of laziness, I'll just point you at his year
end summary.

I heard a rumour on the London.pm mailing list week. Apparently the Perl
6 Summaries are no longer being published. As I'm sure you can imagine,
it came as something of a surprise to me.
This week has been all about Parrot, Leo's
. In particular he wanted help with syntax (exception handling
semantics aren't exactly rocket science when you've got a continuation
based virtual machine after all). Warnock applied (However, I am
reliably informed that next week's summary will have some responses;
