Tell y'all what - I have the next two weeks off so I'm willing to put something together... BUT... I need *your* help! Reply to the list with things you'd like to see Rakudo * do. For example, parsing with simple grammars, or using lazy lists, or lazy slurping, or maybe demo the differences between the numeric types (Num, Int, Complex, Rat, Float, etc...) Maybe binding vs. assignment, pointy blocks, etc... I'm as new to this as anybody, so throw your ideas out there! I'll try to skim off the most useful and interesting to fit into the meeting time, along with a brief discussion of obtaining, compiling, & setting up everything necessary. (I will not actually *do* that at the meeting unless you all want to be there until midnight) I'll also put up a github repo with the code examples so anybody can play, and anybody who wants write access (to add more demos?) can have it! -- -- Steve Scaffidi <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
