Too much happening today... Let's see if I can keep track of them here:

Following this thread on Perlmonks, I've checked in a working quicksort.p6.
Quicksort.p6 immediately received a patch from Larry Wall, to which I followed up with a question, .
Three new committers in one day -- ycheng is hacking Prim.hs, hcchien hacks synopsis-based tests, and alin hacks perl5-based tests. Big kudos to them!
I listed something to read for enterprising Pugs hackers.
I dragged Ingy to the perl6-compiler list, with my pugs compiler backends plan.

On the code front, today saw a flurry of checkins, including:

The "grep" and "map" primitives.
The "mkdir" and "rmdir" primitives, thanks to ycheng.
Fixes for dmake and Win32 make system breakage.
The beginning of a working PugsTest.pm; I'll convert the existing tests to use it tomorrow.

All in all, very exciting developments. See you tomorrow!
