Hi there,
YAPC::Fukuoka 2025 is happening on 14-15 Nov 2025.
I'm also excited about LPW 2025. From our latest update
from the organisers, the event is moving forward. They're making every
effort to ensure it happens, which is no small feat given the short notice.
What's particularly remarkable is that they're managing this with just a
two-person team.
They truly need our support, so please do reach out if you can help. The
organisers are currently seeking sponsors, volunteers and speakers. I've
tentatively submitted a talk proposal myself.
Hopefully, I'll see you all at the event. The venue is expected to be
confirmed this week. For the latest updates, please check the website (
https://londonperlworkshop.com ).
Enjoy rest of the newsletter.

TWC346
https://deadmarshal.blogspot.com/2025/11/twc346.html

For The Weekly Challenge, this is a strong, organised solutions post.
Working code for both challenges is provided by Ali, who exhibits a
straightforward and useful approach to problem-solving. The answers are
clear and accurate.
--------------
=20
Parenthesised Magic
https://raku-musings.com/parenthesised-magic.html
=20
This blog post is technically sound, informative and well-written. It
successfully illustrates a typical Raku problem-solving technique:
beginning with a simple, imperative approach and then refining it into a
more idiomatic, succinct and potent functional solution.

=20
Jaldhar doesn't just provide solutions but explores multiple approaches f=
or
each problem, analysing trade-offs between readability, performance and
idiomatic style. The post is rich with technical insights, performance
benchmarks and clever algorithmic thinking, making it both educational
and intellectually stimulating.
--------------
=20
Magic Parentheses
https://github.sommrey.de/the-bears-den/2025/11/07/ch-346.html
=20
This is an excellent, technically complex post that demonstrates
sophisticated Perl programming methods. Jorg exhibits a thorough
understanding of mathematical optimization, regex engines and effective
algorithm design.

approach that demonstrates deep understanding of the problem domain
rather than just implementing standard algorithms.
