*Since we’re having speakers from the UK the next two months, we’ll be starting 6:30pm EDT(UT-4) so that we’re at least starting on Tuesday for them.*
*(*For those outside the US, please note that USA went to Daylight Savings Time, from ET(UT-5) to ET(UT-4) last weekend *.)* Tuesday, March 14th (π day = 🥧 day), 6:30 🇺🇸 Boston PM: Ovid(tape)+LeoNerd(live) on Corinna - OO in Perl5 Core We’ll have *Curtis “Ovid” Poe* on the strategy of Corinna project and *Paul “PEVANS <https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS>/LeoNerd <http://www.leonerd.org.uk/>” Evans*, Perl Steering Committe and Object::Pad implementor, live for the practicalities and Q&A. Last summer, Ovid posted exciting news - “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 <https://github.com/Ovid/Cor/blob/master/rfc/mvp.md> so you can follow along” @OvidPerl 2022-08-18 <https://twitter.com/OvidPerl/status/1560305460707827715> Just recently in mid February 2023, Ovid and Paul again shared exciting news: P5P’s upcoming development release Perl 5.37.9 (alpha/beta for 5.40.0) will contain *use feature 'class';* It has been merged. 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 non-Core, prototype is Object::Pad <https://metacpan.org/dist/Object-Pad>, which can be conditionally imported in compatibility mode via Feature::Compat::Class <https://metacpan.org/pod/Feature::Compat::Class>. 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.
