willyyam has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I read an interesting article on Sprog, a Perl-based, graphical data-processing engine. It looks intriguing and perhaps useful, and I was wondering if anyone here has used it, or is involved with the project.

Update: I get that "Sprog" is a combination of sprocket and cog, which makes sense in the context of the program, but to me, a sprog is a child/baby/small person, which also kinda makes sense, but it results in strange mind-pictures.

    The mailing list looks a bit empty. But this may mean that it's just that good.

      Yes it is a bit empty - primarily because not many people know about the project. It's all still in fairly early stages of development and until recently I've been a bit cautious about general announcements - I don't want to oversell anything.

      I'll be giving a talk about Sprog at OSCON, so I need to start getting the word out or nobody will know to come along :-).
