Update: see Pugs Apocryphon 1 out; technical questions wanted instead.

Today I completed the first installment of the Pugs Apocrypha — Pugs Apocryphon 1: Overview of the Pugs project. If you are still wondering what Pugs was about, please read that document first. :-) Many thanks to people who have contributed questions; I have postponed the more technical ones to the next Apocryphon.

In this Apocryphon, I have stated my decision of not submitting a TPF grant for Pugs. Although Ingy mentioned some psychological factors, the real reason is that I think it would be more helpful to donate time to the Perl 6 project by hacking Pugs, rather than asking TPF for money to do the same thing.

For those who've been living under a rock for the past month, Pugs is a project started by Autrijus that implements a Perl6 interpreter in Haskell. “Apocrypha” is the name Autrijus has chosen for a series of design documents he intends to write about Pugs.
