Larry’s approaching perl6 through the Programming Perl book (the Camel). He’s going chapter by chapter through the Camel, writing documents about the perl6 equivalent concepts. These missives are known as “Apocalypses”, for reasons best known to Larry. 🙂
He’s churning through the RFCs, looking through them to deeper issues. He hopes to emit Apocalypses more-or-less weekly, although some chapters
have fewer RFCs and issues than others.
What a birthday gift, thanks Larry.

Re: Transcription of Larry’s talk
We started having one, and an interesting thing happened. We spent the first hour gabbing about all sorts of political and organizational issues of a fairly boring and mundane nature. Partway through, Jon Orwant comes in, and stands there for a few minutes listening, and then he very calmly walks over to the coffee service table in the corner, and there were about 20 of us in the room, and he picks up a coffee mug and throws it against the other wall and he keeps throwing coffee mugs against the other wall, and he says “we are fucked unless we can come up with something that will excite the community, because everyone’s getting bored and going off and doing other things”.
The cups that started Perl6. One way to get a group’s attention.
