Today was the last of the perl 6 syntax/semantics sessions.
Have you ever been in a room full of people trying hard not to kill each other? It was like that. We had six people involved with the discussions, and we're all strong-willed and have our personal take on things. It was worst between Damian, Larry, and I, as we're sort of the internal triangle. I was getting damned testy by the end, and I think the only reason I didn't start pitching cups was that they weren't ours.
Still, in the end, we got a lot done, more than I thought we might. It was also a phenomenal amount of work. (Much, much more work than I figured) I'm glad we did it, but I'm glad it's over, too. Another day and I think we'd be at each other's throats.
Dinner was the Crazy Cow again. It was good, cheap, fast, and tourist-friendly. Larry and Gloria didn't join us, as they had other things in mind that evening, and that was kind of nice too. A smaller group (Damian, Hugo, Allison, and me) makes for a more relaxed dinner, I think.
