Original Post: Autrijus Raising Perl6 as a Real Puppy Should

Feed Description: sneaking Ruby through the system
Okay, well, from my point of view, from where I’m at in my life, the most baffling, dazzling, and enchanting read is the journal of Autrijus Tang, wherein he helps us all see how incredibly straightforward and pleasant it can be to code a Perl6 interpreter in Haskell and to call that interpreter Pugs. One-hundret-n-fife days ago he just suddenly jumped into the ground and started burrowing through the leaves and meadows, digging through the unexplored landscape of the priestly folklore that is Perl6. His swivel-necked drill glows fiercely—it is Haskell. (Keep in mind this all takes place during the monadic revolution.)
Is he really evangelizing Haskell? Is he really tossing together Perl6 from leftover pancake mix and used pinstripe pants? Yet? A Perl6 Wizard RPG? A Perl6 Metaclass? YAML in Perl6? And who—if they—but now??
Great coats, kid, slow down and read the guy’s journal.
