I rushed off, hit Robert with a stuffed camel and wanted to be in the Enterprise Grade Virtualization with Open Source Technologies talk by Moshe Bar. I, errr, like Xen. Unfortunately, the talk had been cancelled, so I sat in Design and Implementation of the Perl 6 Compiler by Patrick Michaud who showed the plan for Perl 6 and code examples. It's a shame that PGE hasn't progressed recently. Want shiny code! JFDI! etc. That's the last session for today, I'm off to party...
I used to like Linux Vserver

PGE progress

Glad you came to the talk! My apologies if it looks as though PGE hasn't progressed recently; since YAPC I've been adding a bottom-up operator-precedence parser to PGE (demonstrated in the talk), and focusing on other non-PGE items we'll be needing for building the p6 compiler (e.g., abstract syntax tree representations in Parrot).
But I'm quite willing to follow Autrijus' model of "trading features for tests"...
:-) If people will submit tests (hopefully small, simple ones) for PGE features that are needed, then those features are far more likely to be implemented soon...
Thanks again!
Pm
