Hai again, after a very productive three weeks I can announce the next major release of Graphics::Toolkit::Color (despite the rather small version number jump). In this post I explain what changed(+12 spaces, +1 method, +7 method args), why it is relevant and how I used LLMs to achieve that.
As already reported, I'm writing this color library. Recently I created my own test function for it. And since it was easier that I thought, I want to show you how, so you can write your own!
Finally - GTC 2.0, an all in one color library, is released ! This post will not be rehash (of) the (very) fine manual, but give you a sense what you can achieve with this software and why it is better than any other lib of that sort on CPAN. If you like to look under the hood of GTC, please read my last post.
Graphic::Toolkit::Color 1.9 brought several big new features which I will write about when 2.0 comes out - just to sum up what changed since 1.0. This time I want to describe the internal changes, since this release completed an in-depth rewrite. So this will be about software engineering, architecture and coding style. TLDR: simple, clear, DDD, OO by composition and arg and a color space DSL!
At the latest German Perl Workshop I held a 40 min beginner- to mid level talk about Raku (slides). It was about the habits of Perl programmers that turn contra productive with this new language. This article is a summarizing recapitulation of the pitfalls minus the intro about the history of Raku, the zef ecosystem and some general knowledge - for all those who could not attend or don't speak German.
