I've been pretty swamped the past few weeks, as the parrot folks will attest, what with a job change and all. (For the record, I'm working for a company named Yarde Metals in Southington CT, a scant 12 minute commute away. WebEvent, my previous employer, is going strong, and if you need a web-based calendaring system I'd recommend taking a look at them) Anyway, I'm trying to get my schedule back in order again. Between Parrot and the (long-neglected) Cocoa with perl book I'm kinda swamped.
I do have a few WTHI posts in progress--the two current ones are on first-class functions and character sets/character encoding. If anyone's got other things they're curious about, post a reply here and I'll see what I can do. (I do have the previous list around somewhere, so if it's on there I'll probably get to it at some point)
Posted by Dan at August 24, 2003 03:20 PM | TrackBack (0)I posted a message to the list a while ago that got warnocked, but the gist of it is:
What the heck is "active data"?
More specifically my question is why do we need the keyed versions of so many ops. (The answer you gave was that it was necessary for languages with active data) But I don't really understand what that means or why one entails the other.
Thanks,
Matt
Ah, right, active data. I'll try and get something on that out to p6i today, and a more general WTHI posting on it later on.
