Becoming a Polyglot

Tatshuhiko Miyagawa will give a talk at YAPC::NA 2012 described as:

Many of you might have noticed that, a lot of my recent Perl projects (such as Plack, cpanm and carton) have been greatly influenced by what are available in other programming languages such as Python, Ruby and JavaScript.

Over the past few years, I’ve also been using mainly Python and Ruby for my work.

In this talk I will show you what I’ve learned by using these languages - Things you can steal, things you can ignore. Also as a bonus, I will give you a hint of a few tools what I think is missing in Perl but will become extremely popular when ported the right way.
