| Of course. (For some people.) Here are some videos to give a flavor of the last few years of Perl 6 as it graduated from alpha in 2014 to beta in 2015 to the first ready for production releases of the Rakudo compiler in 2016, to outsiders doing videos about it in 2019 (last video). * 2014. "There's this question of belief". 30 seconds. Charming point made by Perl creator Larry Wall (during a long talk). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enlqVqit62Y&t=37m40s * 2014. "My first P6 program". 3 minute "lightning talk" presentation to an audience of Perl folk. P5er Stefan Seifert shows what they learned and pulled off less than 24 hours after first writing P6 code. (This start led to https://modules.perl6.org/search/?q=inline) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_Y-lvQP6jI * 2015. "P5 Pigs". 6 minute "lightning talk" with audience participation at a Perl conference. Stephen Scaffidi sings his heart out about tensions in the Perl community about Perl 5 "vs" Perl 6. (In reality it's not "vs". They're different languages in the same family, analogous to the way Clojure and Racket are both in the Lisp family.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5_7v7q98-g&t=48m10s * 2015. "Hacking on Rakudo Compiler". 10 minute live coding screencast. Rob Hoelz looks into 3 bugs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adUdmol7cLU * 2016. "Perl 6 for beginners". A conference keynote. An hour, or 15 minutes if you're in a hurry. Damian Conway is brilliant and hilarious. If you've never seem him, you're in for a treat. I strongly recommend the full hour. You will not be disappointed. The first link below is for the full hour, the second jumps to the closing 15 minute "crash course on quantum computing". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq2HkAYbG5o&t=5m https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq2HkAYbG5o&t=46m * 2017. "How to hack the MoarVM JIT compiler". 47 minutes. Bart Wiegmans, author of http://brrt-to-the-future.blogspot.com/, introduces tools that enable others to make MoarVM go incrementally ever faster. Probably only of interest to the hardest core hackers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5_drt7TEqE * 2018. "8 ways to do concurrency and parallelism". Hour+ presentation to P6ers. Like Damian (previous video) Jonathan is another P6er who is also a great presenter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2fSbOPeSQs * 2018. "Perl 6 grammars for simple compilers". 4 minutes 20 seconds live coding screencast. Andrew Shitov creates a toy language, its formal grammar, a parser, and its interpreter/compiler, from scratch, in less than 5 minutes, with full commentary explaining what he's doing as he does it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxaB6m_sQKk * 2019. "Learn Perl 6 In One Video". 80 minute screencast. An "outsider" covers P6 basics at speed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5_drt7TEqE |
