in reply to Perl 6 Tutorial at TPC in Salt Lake City

one of O'Reilly's up-and-coming languages

I'm intrigued by this. Having read it several times my best guess is that this means that someone at O'Reilly is curating a list of "up-and-coming languages" and has chosen to put Perl6 on that list. Is this correct? I'd be interested to see the list to know which other languages are on it but a quick search has not turned it up.

If the phrase means something else entirely then it would be good to know that too, of course.

(Hope your tutorial goes well!)

    It might have been from opensource.com, but I remember it appearing on a list alongside Rust when I did the original OSCON tutorial in 2016. Admittedly it's a little dated, but I'm still promoting Perl 6, and talking at conventions like FOSDEM and DevDays. Now that I'm working remotely hopefully I can cover some more ground.
