Ok, I geeked out, and this is probably more information than you need. But it completely answers the question. Sorry. ☺

Locally, I'm at this commit:

$ git show
commit d6cd1e2bd19e03a81132a23b2025920577f84e37
Author: jnthn <jnthn@jnthn.net>

When I added FIRST/NEXT/LAST, it was idiomatic but not quite so fast. This makes it faster. Another little bit of masak++'s program.

This is a thought experiment, but one I've wanted to try for a long time.

• Start with an editor that does everything vim does.
• Remove the ability to load and save files.
• From now on, all operations happen directly on a repository. You don't save a file, you stage changes. Or stash them. Any save-like operation takes place through git.

There are five views: edit file, status, diff, log, and merge file.

Hi,

We (jnthn + masak) met to discuss the next event, and came up with some ideas. We came up with one talk that we'd give jointly, 2 proposals for masak to give, and 3 proposals for jnthn to give. From here, it depends on how many slots we have; if we were to have 5 slots, then the joint one plus masak's two and the choice of 2 out of the 3 suggested for jnthn would work. If we are going to have a guy come along and do a couple of JavaScript ones, that'd take us up to 7 sessions, which is enough for an event. :-)

Anyway, here's the ideas.

= The "Perl 6 is not Perl" meme

<code>
&lt;emma&gt; Pardon me. Does perl6 have anything to do with perl? Are they two different languages?<br>
&lt;Tene&gt; Depends on how you look at it. ;)<br>
&lt;emma&gt; I was just told by the people in #perl that they are not the same language.<br>
&lt;Tene&gt; Perl 6 doesn't share any code with Perl 5.  It's a complete reimplementation, break of compatibility, etc.<br>
&lt;emma&gt; I find this state of affairs needlessly confusing and if perl came first then naming your language perl6 is just rude.<br>
&lt;emma&gt; How would you like it if we made yet anther language called Perl6.0 just to confuse people and steal your success?<br>
&lt;jnthn&gt; emma: Larry Wall, who created Perl from version 1, is the creator of Perl 6.<br>

Hello, I'm Configure. My job is to poke and prod your system to figure out
how to build Parrot. The process is completely automated, unless you passed in
the `--ask' flag on the command line, in which case it'll prompt you for a few
pieces of info.

Since you're running this program, you obviously have Perl 5--I'll be pulling

== How Perl 6 could kill us all!

People's minds weave stories. Stories weave people's minds.

My mind is pretty tied to the Perl 6 story nowadays, and I haven't minded the
Perl 5 story much. Until this week, that is. Last Sunday, I backlogged over a
discussion of someone coming in from #perl asking people on #perl6 why Perl 6
claimed to be Perl <a href='http://use.perl.org/~masak/journal/39861'>when it
clearly isn't</a>. My resulting blog post basically asked the #perl people to
stop telling outsiders biased things.

Here is the difference between Perl 5 and Perl 6 pack/unpack:

Perl 5                      Perl 6

pack(List)  --> Str         pack(List)  --> Buf
unpack(Str) --> List        unpack(Buf) --> List

Not only that, but some Perl 5 template rules assume an uncomplicated two-way street between Buf and Str. There simply is no real distinction in Perl 5 between Buf and Str, and Perl 5 makes use of that quite a bit.

Just looking at the description of the first template rule gives an indication of this:
