Cool Things in Perl 6 brian d foy brian@stonehenge.com May 3, 2008
• I'm not a Perl 6 contributor • Not about the implementions • Not about new syntax for old things • About new features not in Perl 5 • Stuff that makes me want Perl 6
Caveats • Cribbed from the Synopses http://feather.perl6.nl/syn/ • Some of this might not work yet
Stuff I want • Most languages can do the job • But how much code does it take? • And where does that code live? • What's a primitive and what's built-in?
In this talk • Junctions • New list techniques • Meta operators
