Re^2: Perl 6 Shocking Revelations II - classes are built, not declared

Thanks for the pointers to Class::MOP etc., where the real "prior art/experiments" are still to be found. I was worried that everything discussed on Perl6-language is pretty much lost to verbal lore, as it's been hard to catch up, and thus my project of documenting everything.

I still need to essay it to non-Perl people when Perl 6 takes over the world (or to help it do so).

I was worried that everything discussed on Perl6-language is pretty much lost to verbal lore, as it's been hard to catch up, and thus my project of documenting everything. Honestly, I never did much discussing of this stuff on the perl6-language list, too much bikesheding there. I just wrote code instead, much more fun. A good portion of it is still buried in the Pugs distro and I would be happy to walk you through it one day, but honestly I am much happier with where Moose and Class::MOP are now, then the P6 stuff I did. -stvn	[reply]

Thanks. Right now P6-language is nearly dead, with nobody else being in a productive period. But I think it's still the official ear of @Larry. I do want to discuss Moose etc. with you eventually. I've ordered that book, and for now I will document this work with the maturity preferences you indicate. Meanwhile, I'll be working on a different edge of this giant cookie I'm nibbling on. —John	[reply]
