Frozen Perl 2009: Keynote

gizmo_mathboy on 2009-02-10T03:50:10

I'm just going stream of consciousness from my notes from Frozen Perl this weekend.

So, without further ado my ramblings;

The only thing that matters this year

Getting Perl 6 out.

We've had Perl 6 for years.

Parrot 1.0 - March 17 (St. Patrick's Day)

What will the tool chain look like?

Will we use CPAN?

Will we pull directly from github directly?

Colonize outside of use.perl.org

See Perl 6 discussed everywhere

Say Rakudo, Perl 5

follow rakudo.org

The only other thing this year, Perl 5 must continue to thrive and grow

Perl 6 dividends in Perl 5: Moose, Catalyst

Perl::Critic

One more thing (the third)

Be excellent to each other.

Perl's crowning achievement is CPAN

CPAN is community

Community is people

Perl's crowning achievement is people

The only things that matter

* Rakudo must come out in 2009 * Perl 5 must continue to thrive and grow * Be excellent to each other

Large code bases are screaming for Perl::Critic

Use Moose, Catalyst, etc.

Move to 6 for new stuff
