This month at pdx.pm we'll be sitting down as a group with parrot on our laptops and Jerry Gay to explore Perl 6 and kick the tires on rakudo. From my experiences running rakudo thus far, it has at least reached the point of "more interesting than frustrating".
I'm hoping that this session will demonstrate that Perl 6 is becoming very real and give the attendees an excuse to learn more about the language and explore what it will be able to do for them. It should be interesting to see what different people bring to it, their expectations, and the learning curve.
I'll be visiting Portland from Richmond, Indiana and may be able to make the meeting.
