Did I say over 350? Its currently 479 and I hope to get 500 next week. Even if i have to prepare talks, since all my 3 talks for german perl workshop got accepted. None of them is about Perl 6 directly. However, one will discuss certain ideas and design details of programming languages such as Rebol, Perl 5 and Perl 6, but also others.

Another interesting number is 120. Thats the count of operators, metaoperators and meanings nonalphanumerical character can have in perl 6. I love larrys qoute : "perl 6 is an operator oriented language."

Another nail hitting quote from him is "Perl 6: second system syndrome done right." aka Whirlpool Model of software development. Which means in that context: the index is constantly a subject to bitrot. This week I updated the flow control, closure traits and routine traits. The latest changes of filetest ops are not yet incorporated. but I read chromatics++ summeries and have an eye on p6l. so I don't loose touch with the whirlpool.
