New version of the Perl runtime released Changed Raised the required versions of Path::Tiny and Sub::Quote. Marked the std/clib integration test as author-only. Excluded blib from distribution manifests. Fixed Fixed the marshal golden fixture test to parse on older supported Perl versions. https://metacpan.org/release/TOBYINK/Zuzu-0.001004
code.golf has experimental ZuzuScript support code.golf now allows you to submit solutions in ZuzuScript. It uses zuzu-rust 0.1.0 to evaluate solutions.
So I’ve created a programming language which blends a fairly JavaScript-like syntax with fairly Perl-like semantics, and a few other features that I haven’t really seen in many programming languages. This Perl: use Path::Tiny; my $str = uc(substr(Path::Tiny->new(“myfile.txt”)->slurp_utf8, 0, 80)); Becomes this in ZuzuScript: from std/path import Path; let str := new Path(“myfile.txt”) ▷ ^^.slurp_utf8 … Continued

(I make no apologies for the ChatGPT images in my recent blog posts, by the way. No artists are missing out on being paid: I wasn’t going to hire an artist to illustrate these blog posts which will be read by like three people.) A while back, I wrote MooseX::XSAccessor which you can add to … Continued
When I first introduced Marlin, it seemed the only OO framework which could beat its constructor in speed was the one generated by the new Perl core class keyword. Which seems fair, as that’s implemented in C and is tightly integrated with the Perl interpreter. However, I’m pleased to say that Marlin’s constructors are now … Continued
Does the Perl world need another object-oriented programming framework? To be honest, probably not. But here’s why you might want to give Marlin a try anyway. Most of your constructors and accessors will be implemented in XS and be really, really fast. If you accept a few basic principles like “attributes should usually be read-only”, … Continued
What’s new? The BoolLike type constraint accepts boolean.pm booleans. Type::Params offers some improvements for DWIM named parameter processing. More shortcuts are provided for exporting parameterized versions of type constraints….

Ingredients 3 blinding mushrooms (see image), roughly … Continued
I already published this on another site years ago, but wanted it on my blog too. Firstly, you will need salt. Salt can be made from scratch by reacting sodium with chlorine, but a shortcut would be to take a trip to your nearest sea, collect several litres of seawater, and evaporate off the water, … Continued
