OK, if there was something to tell and this is not just an exercise in writing fantasy, do tell the story in layman's terms for those that don't feel like wandering though the maze you've created.

    Sorry it was confusing. The basic idea is that there are some promising new software projects, and this was a bit of a marketing piece to get people interested in working on something new and exciting and important.

    I can probably tell you the most about the RPerl project because that's the one I'm personally working on. It is a low-magic-Perl5 to C++ compiler and can give significant speed improvements, I've got 200x increase in my hand-compiled sorting code.

      Is that what it was? :-P My advice: stick to what you do well (programming). Let someone else handle the marketing.

      I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.

        Internal marketing! To drum up interest among the Perl community in the new important projects.
