In algebra, there’s this pretty funky concept: And I was thinking if $f and $g were coderefs, what could $f + $g be?… […]

Zydeco::Lite
Today I released Zydeco::Lite, a re-implementation of Zydeco but just using standard Perl syntax. So for example, class { … } becomes class(sub { …});. This has the advantage of much faster compile time, similar run time speed, fewer dependencies,… […]
Web Scraping with Zydeco
So I like to keep local copies of my blogs.perl.org blog posts as Atom entries, but noticed yesterday that I had a few gaps in my collection. The Atom feeds offered by blogs.perl.org only have the most recent articles though,… […]
Thoughts on Marshalling and Unmarshalling in Zydeco
Prompted by a recent question on PerlMonks, I’ve been thinking a bit recently on marshalling and unmarshalling Perl objects. If you’re happy using Data::Dumper’s format, then it’s trivial, but today we’re looking at JSON. If you just want to encode… […]

There is a line between them, even if it’s interrupted by a circle. And what about these two circles? Are they connected? Again, there’s a diagonal line […]

Technically, I already announced it, but now I’ve renamed it. MooX::Pression is now called Zydeco. Moops had a memorable name, and I think the naming really helped it gain a following. MooX::Pression was just meh. So now it’s Zydeco. Zydeco… […]
MooX::Pression — now much faster
The test suite for MooX::Pression used to run in 79 seconds on my laptop. Now it’s at 10 seconds. And no, I didn’t cut out any tests — I switched from using Keyword::Declare to a combination of Keyword::Simple and PPR…. […]
