Perl 6 Informal Study Session

This is an informal series of study sessions focused on Perl 6 (aka Rakudo), a break from the past of Perl 5 and one of the contenders for language of the future.

Let's get together for a few hours on Sunday afternoons over at the Oakland Museum cafe, and start messing around with Perl 6.

This is a relatively unstructured gathering focusing on chatting and shoulder-surfing, without a lot of planned presentations-- though if you've got something you'd like to show off, by all means bring it with you.

We've been looking through the Moritz Lenz books (as well as the on-line docs), but while those are pretty excellent we're going to have to think about switching to brian d foy's "Learning Perl 6", which has just come out. (Though really, we look at whatever we feel like looking at at the moment....)

There's free wifi at the cafe, but you'll probably want to install Perl 6 before hand: https://perl6.org/downloads/

I also like having a saved copy of the documentation (converted into a single giant web page): https://docs.perl6.org/perl6.html
