All the Perl that's Practical to Extract and Report

Perl 6 micro-articles just now

This week has seen a turmoil of emotions surrounding Perl 6. (Just take a look at the last articles here at use.perl and perlbuzz.) This entry is just to gladly announce that in this very moment (Dec 28 2007 18:30 GMT-0200) three microarticles of the series on Perl 6 operators are in The Hot 25 list of O'Reilly Network Blogs.

It may be due to other causes:

  • I faithfully provided one article from Monday to Friday for the last two weeks;
  • This is end-of-year time and reading habits may be different;
  • I am not quite sure of the criteria that make blog entries appear there in The Hot 25 and maybe it's just noise that took these articles to those positions (#5, #13, #23).

But on the other hand, given that I am not that endowed for writing, I rather believe that

  • Perl 6 still captures curiosity and attention of people out there;
  • People do not want to lose the opportunity (to learn, use, criticize, think about, etc.) when Perl 6 is finally released.

So I want to thank everyone that contributed to the current state of Perl 6-related development and to wish much fun in the future work that will bring us this long-awaited Christmas gift.
