Perl Weekly=20
https://perlweekly.com/
You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
https://perlweekly.com/archive/740.html
Hi there,
Last week was exciting for those who enjoy using Perl as
Perl v5.43.3 (
https://metacpan.org/release/CONTRA/perl-5.43.3/view/pod/perldelta.pod ) is
now available. It is nice to see another release from the tireless work,
our core developers do to keep Perl modern, stable and
innovative for its users. Thank you to all who have contributed to useful
feature suggestions and prioritizing upgrade work for
Perl.
An area that we still need to grow (in terms of community engagement) is
the experimental class feature. The work on the underlying
feature is solid but it is missing support for Roles, a
topic that many of us would consider to be essential for creating
maintainable, reusable object systems. The good news is that it is not the
end of the road for this feature; it is an opportunity if we are able to
corral enough community support, we can help the core team get
Role support into experimental class
syntax sooner than later. If you have the ability, time and even just
ideas, now is a great time to lend a hand to help implement this feature.
As a related consideration, I've been involved in my own native
Roles investigation with zero dependencies. The intention
is to provide an example of using Roles in
Perl's evolving object model as simultaneously light and
powerful. I shared my recent encounter in the blog post (
https://theweeklychallenge.org/blog/roles-in-perl ) for now, I hope it
promotes discussion and collaboration around what Role
support looks like for Perl moving forward.
Perl has always benefited from the support and strength of
community. Let's continue to build the community by working together to
contribute Roles to the core, in a way that benefits every
member of the community.
Enjoy rest of the newsletter.

This article is informative and is written in news article style. The pos=
t
does a great job of informing a technical audience about a neat
Perl-based AI project (which is technical), balancing enough technical
details while still being accessible to both Perl lovers as well as the
general programming community. It's also good advertising and exposure to
an open-source project that helps to show how Perl is germane to today's

Ascending Duplicates
https://raku-musings.com/ascending-duplicates.html
=20
This is a clear, concise and useful technical blog post that demonstrates
the power and expressiveness of Raku by demonstrating two different
solutions to the same problem. The layout of the blog is structured in a
classic and effective way: the problem statement is followed by
explanations of two different approaches in a step-by-step manner. The
code is clean, idiomatic and well-commented.

solutions in this article exemplify the Perl philosophy of making easy
things easy and hard things possible. They leverage the features that
make Perl unique, namely the regular expression engine and functional
programming utilities, to produce code that is elegant and very readable
to a perl programmer.

=20
This is a fantastic practitioner-centred blog. It doesn't just propose a
solution; it provides a thoroughly critical review of the different types
of algorithmic approaches. You can really see Peter's strong engineering
mindset, not only with correctness but also performance and clarity. The
layout of the blog is very well structured, making the performance
trade-offs between the two methods for Task 1 a very clear summary.

LocalCode - A Perl-Based AI Coding Agent
https://www.i-programmer.info/news/222-perl/18340-localcode-a-perl-based-=
ai-coding-agent.html
=20
This article is informative and is written in news article style. The pos=
t
does a great job of informing a technical audience about a neat
Perl-based AI project (which is technical), balancing enough technical
details while still being accessible to both Perl lovers as well as the
general programming community. It's also good advertising and exposure to
an open-source project that helps to show how Perl is germane to today's
AI ecosystem.

=20
Hi there,
=20
Last week was exciting for those who enjoy using Perlng> as perldelta.pod">Perl v5.43.3 is now available. It is nice to see another=
release from the tireless work, our core developers do to keep Per=
l modern, stable and innovative for its users. Thank you to all wh=
o have contributed to useful feature suggestions and prioritizing upgrade w=
ork for Perl.
=20
An area that we still need to grow (in terms of community engagemen=
t) is the experimental class feature. The work on the unde=
rlying feature is solid but it is missing support for Roles>, a topic that many of us would consider to be essential for creating main=
tainable, reusable object systems. The good news is that it is not the end =
of the road for this feature; it is an opportunity if we are able to corral=
enough community support, we can help the core team get Roleng> support into experimental class syntax sooner than lat=
er. If you have the ability, time and even just ideas, now is a great time =
to lend a hand to help implement this feature.
=20
As a related consideration, I've been involved in my own native rong>Roles investigation with zero dependencies. The intention is =
to provide an example of using Roles in Perlng>'s evolving object model as simultaneously light and powerful. I shared =
my recent encounter in the oles-in-perl">blog post for now, I hope it promotes discussion and coll=
aboration around what Role support looks like for =
Perl moving forward.
=20
Perl has always benefited from the support and str=
ength of community. Let's continue to build the community by working togeth=
er to contribute Roles to the core, in a way that benefits=
every member of the community.
=20
Enjoy rest of the newsletter.
