Re: [Philadelphia-pm] Meeting planning |
Newbie sort of point of view. I'd like to get an idea where Perl's headed - The last time I was heads down working in Perl, Parrot was new. While I could probably look it up myself I think it would be interesting to see where the language is headed as far as support and adoption. I've recently hat to work in Python and Java. They both have strengths and weaknesses, so I'm thinking where is it that (besides everywhere) Perl solves problems the best when compared to Java and Python or Ruby and so forth. Some background - I first learned Perl by writing programs to manipulate a robotic tape handler because it was mangling the backups. My second major project was a multinational tiered monitoring-aggregation-correlation engine with *intelligent* notification features (27K lines of code) -- Ken -----Original Message----- From: philadelphia-pm-bounces+kenfox=starlinx.com@pm.org [mailto:philadelphia-pm-bounces+kenfox=starlinx.com@pm.org] On Behalf Of Chris Nehren Sent: Monday, April 04, 2011 11:36 PM To: philadelphia-pm@pm.org Subject: [Philadelphia-pm] Meeting planning First, thank you to everyone who came out tonight! Glad to see there seems to be a steady interest in Perl in Philadelphia, something I'd like to see expand. To that end, I think more structured meetings might garner us that interest. We didn't get any planning done today because I talked for a while about cool new stuff for doing work with Perl. I'd like to do some brainstorming for things people would like to see/talk about in future--and give some other people a chance to talk. :) I recall a comment about the state of testing tools, which is definitely something I'd like to see. Do we have any other ideas? -- Thanks and best regards, Chris Nehren _______________________________________________ Philadelphia-pm mailing list Philadelphia-pm@pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/philadelphia-pm _______________________________________________ Philadelphia-pm mailing list Philadelphia-pm@pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/philadelphia-pm
