| Why: |
Patrick Michaud will be giving a presentation on
Rakudo - Perl 6 on Parrot.
“Rakudo Perl” is the new name for the Perl 6 compiler targeting the
Parrot virtual machine. Building Rakudo has required development
of a number of tools and methodologies (as well as revisions to
the Perl 6 language specification itself), and things are
progressing nicely.
This talk will report on the overall status and implementation
of the Rakudo Perl compiler, outline what is working (and what
is not working) in Rakudo, and demonstrate how to get started
writing Perl 6 programs. The talk will also cover the design
of the compiler itself, focusing on the overall architecture,
the structure of the Perl 6 test suite, and provide specific
details that will enable others to become involved and to
directly contribute to the remaining work of building Rakudo.
The talk will end with a “road map” to completion of a
production Perl 6 compiler on Parrot.
