Perl 6 and Parrot wikis move to perlfoundation.org

posted by davorg on 2007.07.02 9:54

Andy Lester writes "For a year or two now, I've hosted the Perl 6 and Parrot wikis on my home server, on a not-too-fast DSL line, at rakudo.org. They've now been moved to the wiki infrastructure at perlfoundation.org, on a dedicated box. This means much better performance, so if you've tried the wikis before and found them slow, check them out now.

Perl Music Videos

Journal written by pudge (1) and posted by pudge on 2007.06.28 23:01

I posted two songs on YouTube: Perl, in a Nutshell and KLB. "Perl, in a Nutshell" is a parody of a Barenaked Ladies song called "Life, in a Nutshell." Not much more needs to be said about that. "KLB" is a song I wrote years ago, with ideas from nocarrier and Schwern and others, about #perl on EFNet.

Perl 6 and Parrot Essentials in the Perl 6 / parrot repository

Journal written by brian_d_foy (44) and posted by brian_d_foy on 2007.06.26 14:16

Perl 6 and Parrot Essentials is now open source.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Allison Randal, Dan Sugalski, and Leo Tötsch wrote Perl 6 Essentials , which later became Perl 6 and Parrot Essentials . The universe has changed quite a bit since then. Despite that, the first chapter is still very interesting because it's a slice of history about what people were thinking and why things happened the way they did.
