- Damian Conway: (Re)Developing in Perl 6
-
Now that Perl 6 is available in a usable form <http://www.rakudo.org/>, over the past twelve months Damian has revisited some of his most popular Perl 5 modules and reimplemented them in "native" Perl 6.
In this talk he will walk through the changes needed to port several of those modules, a journey that gives a surprisingly thorough overview of how the two languages differ, as well as insights into the relative strengths of each.
