We’ll have live remote guests *Curtis “Ovid” Poe* and *Paul “PEVANS <https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS>/LeoNerd <http://www.leonerd.org.uk/>” Evans* for a virtual meeting this week.
“For #perl devs wondering how the Corinna #oop project is going, @cpan_pevans is now working on stage 1 of the accepted portion of the RFC. I’ve put that in the repo so you can follow along” @OvidPerl 2022-08-18 <https://twitter.com/OvidPerl/status/1560305460707827715> Ovid is the architect and Paul is the lead developer for adding a new object-oriented system called Corinna† (formerly & confusingly “Cor” into Perl 5 Core. They’ve had an open community process to develop an RFC or proposal and prototype, but until recently, without commitment for the Perl 5 Porters (P5P) to actually implement it in Perl 5. Over the summer, P5P have approved the initial Stage 1 integration into Perl Core. While we’ve had 20+ years of new OO packages for Perl5 since 5.0, this is the first actual (as opposed to proposed) overhaul of the *core* OO system in Perl 5. PEVANS’s compatible, non-Core, prototype is Object::Pad <https://metacpan.org/dist/Object-Pad>. Ovid’s recent writing on Corinna are on his blog <https://ovid.github.io/tags/corinna.html>. The Corinna project <https://github.com/Ovid/Cor> has a wiki <https://github.com/Ovid/Cor/wiki> and the RFC <https://github.com/Ovid/Cor#rfc> that proposed adding Corinna to Perl 5 Core, and the P5P-accepted Stage 1 Minimal Viable Product RFC <https://github.com/Ovid/Cor/blob/master/rfc/mvp.md>. His 2021 editorial <https://dev.to/ovid/bringing-modern-oo-to-perl-51ak> explains the difference between Moose (*et al*), Stevan Little’s Moxie, and Corinna. *Damian Conway* posted an exultation for the (January 2022) P5P approval of the Stage 1 MVP RFC *but i can’t find it again*. His previous writings endorsing the project are - A (not so) simple matter of privacy 2021-DEC <http://blogs.perl.org/users/damian_conway/2021/12/a-not-so-simple-matter-of-privacy.html> , - A dream resyntaxed 2021-Nov <http://blogs.perl.org/users/damian_conway/2021/11/a-dream-resyntaxed.html> - A dream realized 2021-Aug <http://blogs.perl.org/users/damian_conway/2021/08/a-dream-realized.html> † *Corinna* is a classical allusion in connection to Curtis’s pseudonym *Ovid*, which explains the classical (and otherwise potentially NSFW) image on the MVP RFC tweet. This is a JitSi meeting. The secure URL will be computed by this command (valid only during that week): perl -MDigest::SHA=sha1_hex -MPOSIX=strftime -le 'print strftime "%Y/%m/%d week %U", localtime; $date=strftime "Y%Y W%U", localtime; print $date; print "https://meet.jit.si/BostonPM-".substr(sha1_hex("BostonPM".$date),0,12);' (and will likely be posted here just in time) For more advice on JitSi and the updated meeting URL, see homepage https://boston.*pm.org*/index.html#schedule <https://boston.pm.org/index.html#schedule> (Yes, the branded alias is working again! :-0 :-D ) RSVP not required, but if you RSVP on MeetUp, that will give you the secret URL in advance. As will private messaging Bill. -- Bill Ricker [email protected] https://www.linkedin.com/in/n1vux _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] https://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
