The Perl 6 design team met by phone on 30 May 2007. Larry, Allison, and chromatic attended. These are the notes.
Larry:
- getting ready for my History of Programming Languages talk
- mostly tweaking the design in various spots in response to questions
- some things on indirection of method calls
x and xx operators- questions about how
is cached works
- also added an
is reparsed trait to go with is parsed
- kludges in a key matcher which changes the thing
- decided to allow placeholders in the conditionals of closures
if statements, for example
c:
- fixed a few Parrot bugs
- broke compilation
- it's mostly back, just needs a configure change
- making that configuration change might spread the change to all platforms that support that GCC version though
Allison:
- working on PMCs
- almost ready to put out that PDD
- should finish it this afternoon
- we have a few last implementation bits for objects
c:
- I looked at S05 for a question about character classes
- I didn't see a complete section about them
- did I overlook it?
Larry:
- they're mostly diffs from Perl 5
- the only Synopsis I've really revised is S03
- S12 is arguably in that state as well
- S05 really needs a major reorganization
