A bit overdue post, but I attended this months's Perl 6 Community Bug Squashathon last weekend and it was fun! I had a great time learning some more Perl 6 while making contributions at the same time. Definitely looking forward to next month's!
Here are a few little bits of Things I've Learned...
Some recent work in maintaining the official Perl image for Docker lead me into pulling in different copies and tags of buildpack-deps
more than once, in different machines; as a result, I used a lot of network bandwidth for image pulling. Aside from this, I also run several VMs via libvirt/KVM, via Docker Machine to start up VMs for Docker Swarm and Minikube.
I wanted to save my bandwidth usage, and it turns out there is a way to do this by building on some Docker features...
Wow, she is 26 today. Back in the day, she was just a humble replacement for awk
and sed
, then became great in the late 90's to 2000's as the CGI programming language. Now, with the advent of web applications programming, she's doing it better with a lot of frameworks held together by better glue. And let's not forget the objects and events.
Looking forward to another great year building great stuff with Perl!
