As you will note from the date in the title, it’s been a short week. We’re switching back to a midnight Sunday/Monday rollover in order to make life easier for the Perl.com types. So, if I can avoid being…
In case you were wondering, Darwin ports didn’t work its magic and I still don’t have a working Haskell compiler. Thank Juerd for feather, even if I did have to turn my laptop upside down to read the MOTD….
Welcome to another Perl 6 summary, brought to you by the words "displacement" and "activity." So far today, I’ve caught up with everything unread in NetNewsWire, my Flickr groups, every other mailing list I’m subscribed to, and completed about…
My, doesn’t time fly? Another fortnight gone and another summary to write. It’s a hard life, I tell you! This Week in perl6-compiler Where’s Everyone Gone? It seems that most of the Perl 6 compiler development discussions occur at…
Surprise! It’s me again. You may be wondering what happened to last week’s summary (I know I was) and where Matt had gone. Well, I’m not entirely sure where exactly he is now, but last week was moving week…
Crumbs. I’ve remembered to write the summary this week. Now if I can just remember to bill O’Reilly for, err, 2003’s summaries. Heck, it’s not like waiting for the dollar to get stronger has paid off. Ah well, no…
Note to self: It’s generally not a good idea to go installing Tiger on the day you return from holiday. It’s especially not a good idea to fail to check that it didn’t completely and utterly radish your Postfix…
The Perl 6 Summary for the Week Ending 2005-04-26 It’s my turn again. What fun. “What,” I hear you all ask, “has been going on in the crazy, mixed-up world of Perl 6 design and development?” Read this summary…
Whoa! Deja vu! Where’d Matt go? Don’t worry, Matt’s still writing summaries. As you may have noticed, Matt’s been writing summaries every two weeks. Now so am I. Because we love you, we’ve decided to arrange things so I…
The Perl 6 Summary for the week ending 2004-09-24 This is my last summary before I start my teaching practice. Hopefully I’ve things set up so writing the summary isn’t going to interfere with that, and vice versa. This week…
Another week, another summary, and I’m running late. So: This week in perl6-compiler The current state of the compiler Discussion of the current state of the nascent perl 6 compiler and how best to contribute to its development even…
This week on perl6-compiler Yes you read that right; development of the Perl 6 compiler now has its own mailing list. Hopefully, in the coming weeks, the current perl6-internals list will get renamed parrot-internals to reflect that split. As I…
Another week, a free weekend, and still I haven’t started writing the summary until Monday. Still, I don’t actually start at college ‘til next week, so that’s all right then. We start with perl6-internals. Compile op with return values…
The Perl 6 Summary for the fortnight ending 2004-08-20 Harrumph. Note to self; never miss a week when you could actually have written the summary. I lulled myself into a false sense of security with the quiet week for…
As I threatened last week, I’m moving the rollover point for these summaries from midnight on Sunday/Monday to midnight on Friday/Saturday, but rather than do it in one swell foop, I’m doing a couple of six-day weeks. The theory…
Following last week’s bizarrely dated summary (I misplaced a day) we’re back with the correct week-ending date, but I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve slipped to writing on a Tuesday again. My head hangs in shame and I am…
Another week, another Perl 6 Summary. This is becoming a habit. Let’s do perl6-internals first, shall we? Japhy’s Perl 6 Rules Parser Last week Jeff ‘Japhy’ Pinyan announced that he’d be working on a Perl 6 rules parser once…
What’s this? No! It can’t be! It’s a weekly Perl 6 Summary. What is the world coming to? Sorry, I can’t answer that one, so I’ll tell you what’s been happening this week in perl6-internals. Bignums, licenses, pie As…
Good evening. You find me typing away in a motel room on the edge of the Lake District on the shortest night of the year. I suppose, by rites, I should be spending the night by some stone circle drinking,…
Whee! There’s a new graphics card in the G5, which means I can type this at the big screen again, which makes me happy. Well, it would make me far happier if the new card didn’t leave horrible artifacts…
