Welcome my friends to the show that never ends. Yes, it’s another of Piers Cawley’s risible attempts to summarize the week’s happenings in the Perl 6 development community. We start, as usual, with events in the perl6-internals world (not the…
Welcome once again to the gallimaufry that is a Perl 6 summary. Unfettered this week by the presence of feline distraction we plunge straight into the crystal clear waters of perl6-internals. Iterator proof of concept People must really like…
Assuming I can tear myself away from stroking the cat who has just magically appeared on my chest and is even now trying to wipe his dags on my nose, welcome one and all to another Perl 6 summary,…
Spring is in the air, the Apocalypse is here (or imminent, depending on which sense of the word ‘Apocalypse’ you are using). We’ll start with perl6-internals as usual, before bracing ourselves for the increased volume and ploughing on into…
Ooh look, it’s another of those Perl 6 Summaries where Piers tries to work a gratuitous reference to Leon Brocard into a summary of what’s been happening to the Perl 6 development process this week. As tradition dictates, we’ll…
Welcome back to another episode in the ongoing saga that is the Perl 6 development process (or at least my attempt to describe it). We kick off with perl6-internals. IMCC calling conventions Piers Cawley attempted to describe tail call…
Another week, another Perl 6 Summary, in which you’ll find gratuitous mentions of Leon Brocard, awed descriptions of what Leopold Tötsch got up to and maybe even a summary of what’s been happening in Perl 6 design and development….
Welcome to the all new, entirely unaltered, all singing, all dancing Perl 6 summary. Your beacon of reliability in the crazy world that is Perl 6 design and development. Another quiet week. Even quieter than last week in fact, unless…
Welcome to the latest Perl 6 summary, your handy cut out and keep guide to the goings on in the crazy world of Perl 6 design and development. It’s been a rather quiet week this week; only 75 messages…
Parrot Objects (noun, not verb) Piers Cawley worried about class private attributes and asked it it was still going to be possible to write an object serializing tool that wouldn’t require tons of Perl class overloads. Dan said that…
Welcome to the first Perl 6 summary of the new ‘Copious Free Time enabled’ era, which should mean that these summaries will get mailed out on Monday evening from now on. We start, as usual, with perl6-internals The eval…
Summary time again, damn but those tuits are hard to round up. Guess, what? perl6-internals comes first. 141 messages this week versus the language list’s 143. Objects (again) Objects were still very much on everyone’s mind as the discussions of…
… And we’re back. Yup, it’s summary time again. We’ll dive straight in with perl6-internals (as if you expected anything else). More Thoughts on DOD Leopold Tötsch posted a test program showing the effects of PMC size and timing…
Hello, and welcome to the first summary of 2003; welcome to the future. This summary covers two weeks, but they’ve been quiet what with Christmas and the New Year’s. So, starting as usual with perl6-internals A Pile of Patches to…

And some rough beast, its hour come ‘round at last slouches toward… And then the scansion goes to pot and I can’t make a joke fit. Shame. Anyhoo, it’s time for another episode of the continuing saga of Perl…
"Oh! my ears and whiskers, I’m late!" It’s 0650, it’s 20021120 and I’ve only just started writing the summary. Call me lazy, call me a shirker, call me anything you damn well please, just don’t interrupt me while I’m writing…
Far off in distant Newark, a figure muttering something about ‘Leon Brocard’ shambles across a railway bridge and makes its way into a waiting room. Time passes. After a while, a train arrives and the figure shambles on board,…
