Re^2: Replaying Santa Claus Golf Apocalypse with Pugs/Perl6

Say, are you willing to become a committer in Pugs and commit those wonderful example scripts under examples/golf/*?

Yes. I'd like to add some tests and stuff too. It's only fair to warn, however, that I don't have huge amounts of spare time and there is a steep learning curve for me, but I hope to get there eventually and contribute something useful for a change.

Personally, I find it interesting to give Perl 6 a workout in writing very concise code. That said, I trust that playing golf (or writing poetry) is not part of the Perl 6 design team's design goals. ;-)

Invitation sent. Welcome aboard! I think Perl 6 design team has a fair bit of interest in golf too... Only they call it huffman encoding. Otherwise how can you explain that `$h.readline` can be written as `=$fh` now?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Just in the name of Huffman coding: couldn't `my @rev = reverse $f.readline()` be made indentical to `my @rev = - $f` ? That would be the penultimate step in Perl golf...:-) rg0now	[reply] [d/l] [select]
