Commented on Missing YAPC::Europe
I may be biased but YAPC::NA 2014 has a great sound to it!...
-
Commented on Stepping Up
I'm pretty sure we discussed this on #plack, but your use case for XML (while common) is broken. XML doesn't have, pretend to have, or expect to have a "data model". Every module that tries to force XML to serialize...

Commented on Stepping Up
> he couldn’t find a decent CPAN module for XML validation XML::LibXML supports validation using both XML-Schema and RelaxNG. Additionally Kip Hampton has a module that implements Schematron under XML::Schematron, Sam Tregar has XML::Validator::Schema which implements a subset of XML-Schema...

Commented on YAPCs, Perl workshops and Monger meetings
I just went through the process to try to create a page on Event Brite for Perl Oasis. They require you input ticket sales information. Which for an ACT driven conference simply won't work....

Commented on Using strict is hard, let's just use Moose;
You may feel better if you've seen Jesse Vincent's talk about the future of Perl 5. The basic gist is if you declare a version, Perl will try it's hardest to keep to the semantics of that version. The defaults...

Commented on Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Things I would add to the core language: An improved (meta)object system. Real exception handling (fix the things that Try::Tiny is papering over) A shared-nothing Actor style threading model. Things I would possibly change to what is considered "Perl" but...

Commented on It Had to be Said: XML vs. JSON
I don't disagree with anything you're saying here but I have to question this part. the simplest XML representation I can think of for x = 1 is: <i n="x">1</i> Really? That's the simplest you could think of? <x>1</x> Didn't...

Commented on local::lib and perlbrew
Because Perl's are not (required to be) binary compatible across major versions, I've had issues with local::lib and perlbrew like this. Happily however you don't need to use local::lib for your system @INC since the way perlbrew is engineered each...

Is this a post about the cloaking of ships on Lacuna Expanse?...

Commented on Fundraising idea for YAPC?
Also complicating this is that YAPC::NA is rarely held in the same state twice in a row thus local laws covering Gaming are always different....
-
Commented on Perl::Image?
Please don't misunderstand me (or god-forbid, take offense where none is intended). I'm not sure where I fall on this debate. For example, I think thinks like Devel::Declare and the ability to extend the syntax of the language in extensions...

Commented on Perl::Image?
Class::MOP has a class browser somewhere that is a very very rudimentary version of what you're talking about I think. The problems really boiled down to, Smalltalk and Perl are very different languages when it comes to their concept of...

Commented on The best Perl developer in the industry for May 2010?
well at least one of these companies has contributed to CPAN http://search.cpan.org/~csa/...

Commented on Hello, World. /cliché
Other than specifying that Perl Oasis will be at the Four Points Sheraton in Orlando on Martin Luther King's Birthday Weekend (January) I have no other details about it yet. http://perloasis.org will eventually contain the details. As for the Orlando.pm...

Commented on Hello, World. /cliché
A few comments the others haven't brought up... 1) Larry has explicitly said that you can write "Baby Perl" and it's just fine. 2) UCF has a pretty good CS department, I dropped out of it at one point so...

Commented on Test-driving MongoDB on a Moose
The KiokuDB authors have dealt with many of these issues (as well as the circular reference between author and cds), and strangely the first iteration of the MongoDB Perl Drivers was written by someone who has contributed to KiokuDB (Florian++)....

Commented on Who's going to make Moose class declarations simpler?
I was going to jokingly point you to XML::Toolkit which will take an XML document like: <MyApp> <Packet/> <Platform/> <Version /> </MyApp> and turn it into a Class like: package MyApp::MyApp; use Moose; use namespace::autoclean; use XML::Toolkit; has 'Packet_collection' =>...

Commented on The Best Perl Development Firm?
The second place company in that list does have a CPAN account http://search.cpan.org/~csa/ although I admit to having never heard of any of the companies listed....

Commented on The "Irrefutable Wave" Myth
Regarding Perl and RDF, there is a hackathon next month in Norway for Perl-RDF people[1]! I would also point you to Class::OWL on CPAN that takes OWL/RDF and compiles it to Class::MOP objects and probably needs some love to port...

Commented on Modules vs. Applications
Yeah I was hoping for a [citation needed] tag there too....

Commented on Roles without Moose?
A call went out several months ago for profiling data from real world applications so we could see where the performance problems were. I don't recall that anybody submitted anything. While we could optimize based on the test suite, and...

Missing YAPC::Europe
I too will not be there :( so it looks like Leo has won :)
I believe last year there was only the three of us that were left, having attended every single YAPC::Europe. Assuming that Leo is going of course.

Missing YAPC::Europe
I was wondering that if you can't go, perhaps there's other ways you can participate? For example I imagine there's going to be some videos, and it would be great to have someone watching stuff and reporting on it, or someone just doing some more general reporting and advocacy,
