Re: multilanguage meeting idea (was Re: [PLUG] Perl question...)


I'd be interested. I'd contribute to the Perl code if that was called for. I'm a Perl programmer who wants to become a better Perl programmer and perhaps a Ruby programmer.

thank you for the pleac link, it's very interesting.

Perhaps I'm too much of a programmer type, but I really appreciated
seeing the ruby example.   I think that seeing a few simple problems
solved in Ruby, Python and Perl (with explanations of course) would
make for a pretty interesting meeting.    I fall into the Perl way of
doing things (as if there's just one Perl way...).  But I'm very interested
other high level languages as well.

Not a bad idea. PLEAC[1] is an incomplete translation of the examples in the
Perl Cookbook to a number of other languages. Perhaps we could do a Perl
Idioms -> Python/Ruby meeting sometime in the future? Anybody else
interested in that?
