Re: Parrot 2.9.1 Released

[Andy Lester]

 Parrot 2.9.1 News:
 - This is a bugfix release to address a excessive slowdown in the Rakudo Perl 
 6 build.  If you run out of memory on a box with  512 MB physical RAM, 
 please report it to us.

I hope people see this as the positive that it is.  This shows that the 
staggered Parrot - Rakudo release schedule works.

Thanks to everyone.

This is more to the world of Perl 6, but you're the first person to go  
out there and do this.


I love love LOVE starting to get people together to talk about Perl  
6.  It's a crucial step in letting people know that Perl 6 is real.   
However, starting social groups that say they are specifically about  
Perl 6 makes me uncomfortable.


I think it would be better to call it Dallas.pm and just talk about  
Perl 6 in the meeting announcements.  The key is that we don't want  
people to think they must choose one or the other.  Technologically,  
Perl 5 and Perl 6 are very different, but culturally, they're very  
similar.


Keeping Perl 5 and Perl 6 groups together also means that we will  
increase cross-pollination of Perl 6 onto the Perl 5 people.


Thanks for listening,
xoxo,
Andy

How about .trim(:start) and .trim(:end)?



And .trim(:both) for orthogonality.
