»»» This post is about Perl 6, not rock solid Perl 5 «««

Today's Perl 6 advent calendar looks like it may be of more than average interest to monks interested in the sort of thing -Ofun meant in 2015 when trying to write a non-trivial Perl 6 application: Yak Shaving for Fun and Profit (or How I Learned to Stop Worry and Love Perl 6)

Trolls are expected to join our meditation. Herewith a collective "happy winter solstice" hug for them all from me and on behalf of a bug-eyed butterfly. I ask that those of us that prefer to don the robes of a monk rather than dress up as trolls do their very best to leave the trolls alone or just surround them with genuine unconditional love. Imagine how cool it would be if there were no attacks in this thread, or, more realistically, there were no responses to attacks no matter how personal or pernicious. Thanks for your cooperation. :)

And finally, here's another happy (near) winter solstice greeting, this time for the whole monastery. I learn a lot about being humble and encouraging my compassionate self in posts here and I appreciate this gift that keeps giving.
