I updated the slides a bit. I added something in the possible talk/discussion section.
Because the regex example is valid in both Perl and Qore, I came up with something called the "Perqore" challenge (based on 'parkour') - the challenge is simply to write code that is valid in both Perl and Qore. I can't think of what it's called, but it'd almost be like when you try to have a single file that combines different programming languages, but is valid in all of them - e.g., hiding some of language X inside of what looks like a comment block to language Y. I've seen examples that combine 4 or more languages. I just can't find them atm. For Perl/Qore, it's a little different. You'll probably end up molding Perl to accept Qore's quirks rather than the other way around. So, there's no real hiding of code. IDK, just something to keep you busy....if anyone decides to accept such a challenge, it might make for an interesting lightning talk. Brett On Thu, Sep 08, 2011 at 10:31:36PM -0500, B.
