… and we’re back! Another interesting week in Perl 6. Your Summarizer even wrote some [parrot] code and it’s been simply ages since he did that. In accordance with ancient custom, we’ll start the summary with perl6-internals. Building with…
Spring is sprung, the Equinoctal gales seem to have blown themselves out, I’m a proud step grandfather and life is generally grand. “So, what’s been going on in perl6-internals?” I hear you ask. Let’s find out shall we? Parrot…
Another week, another summary. It’s been a pretty active week so, with a cunningly mixed metaphor, we’ll dive straight into the hive of activity that is perl6-internals. Benchmarking Discussion and development of Sebastien Riedel’s nifty Parrot comparative benchmarking script…
Time marches on, and another summary gets written, sure as eggs are eggs and chromatic is a chap with whom I will never start a sentence. We start, as always, with perl6-internals. Platform games Work continued this week on expanding…
Welcome to the leapday summary. We’ll crack straight on with perl6-internals Running up to release time As Leapday had been chosen as the release date for Parrot 0.1.0, the week was mostly spent getting things ready for release. A…
Loading bytecode at runtime Last week Dan had specced out the rules for runtime loading of bytecode. This week, Leo Tötsch started implementing it. There was a certain amount of quibbling about syntax, but that was quickly sorted out….
In his talk on Parrot at OSCON last year, Dan said that Parrot would have objects ‘by the end of the week’. It’s been a very long week, and it’s not finished yet. Right, venting over, time for the…
Another Monday evening. Another day of displacement activity out of the way. There’s a huge lump of belly pork braising slowly in a mixture of stock, rice wine & soy sauce, and nothing on the telly. It must be time…
Welcome once again to Gateshead, where the skies are grey, the view is uninspiring, and the workmen across the road seem determined to fall off the ladder before they get the double glazing fitted. But enough of the gay Gateshead…
Welcome to the first summary from my new home in Gateshead. The same old wibble, with a different view from its window and fewer trips to London. Right, time to see what’s been going on in perl6-internals this week….
It’s Monday. People have been talking about Perl 6, Parrot and the European Union Constitution. Let’s find out what they’ve been saying about Parrot first shall we? Threads Threads were discussed some more. Dan’s deadline is coming up soon,…
What a surprise, a scant week after the last Perl 6 Summary of 2003, it’s the first Perl 6 Summary of 2004. Will wonders never cease? Without further ado, we’ll start with perl6-internals as usual. Garbage Collection Tasks Dan noted…
Another week, another late summary. Luckily it’s been a quiet week so I should get this written faster than usual. As is traditional, we start with perl6-internals Parrot build system tinkering Andy Dougherty and other discussed extending the Parrot build…
Welcome back to the weekly Perl 6 Summary, which I’m hoping to keep on a weekly cycle for the foreseeable future. It’s been a relatively low volume week this week, I’m assuming that Thanksgiving had something to do with…
Right, hopefully things are back to normal(ish) after the disk crashes that rather spoilt the last summary. I’ve managed to fill in my mail archive too so this summary will cover the events of the last fortnight (that’s two…
Traditionally this paragraph concerns itself with a few words on what I’ve been up to before finally settling down to get the summary written. But despite the fact that it’s nearly four o’clock, it’s been one of those days…
It’s Monday morning, the croissants have been baked, the focaccia is glistening with all the extra virgin olive oil I poured on it as it left the oven and, in the airing cupboard, a raisin borodinsky slouches towards full…
Where does the time go? It seems like only yesterday that I was sat hiding Leon Brocard in the first letters of the first 11 body paragraphs of the last summary. Now, here I am, on the train, typing…
Lumme! Another week, another summary. Every week (almost) we start with the perl6-internals list, so here goes. An Evil task for the interested Our Glorious Leader, Dan Sugalski, last week asked for volunteers to work on making ordered destruction…
Good afternoon readers. You find me sitting comfortably and tired after a vaguely frantic week involving large amounts of new (and huge) equipment, the delivery of a new Mini Cooper, and four days offline at a large format photography…
