Looking at some slides about Perl 6(pdf) ... some cute features.

Quick note : Blahsploitation is no more ... long live "Composing"

The impotance of being earnest :-)

Update : which reminds me of a discussion I'm having with Sig

Update 2 : Seems like a lot of ongoing discussion around the place. Joel Spolsky explains.

Update : for people wondering how the whole new-SdiDesk-in-Adobe-Flex? thing is going. I solved something I thought was a problem yesterday.

I now have a (very fragile) Flex front end which can pass plain-text GeekWeaver programs to a web-server with GeekWeaver embedded, and get a compiled chunk of GeekWeaver out.

That's very cool ... unfortunately it also revealed yet more problems with the GeekWeaver compiler which need fixing before I can release the next version.

Still, it looks promising. The signs are better and better that something interesting is coming out in the next 3 months. :-)
