Also been improving spec compliance of the MCP #Perl SDK. Claude Code came up with the idea to split the HTTP transport into two modes, one for feature completeness (streaming), and one for easy scalability with prefork web servers.

The streaming mode allows us to do fun things like MCP tools with progress bars.

#Underbar #Perl #CPAN

Installing #Perl library that depends on AnyEvent. AnyEvent issues "canary" warning and snark about backwards compatibility changes since 5.22. Fails to build.

Strawberry Perl on Windows, no big surprise.

5.22 was—uh—2015. If I remember right, that's when p5p was putting solid effort in replacing duct tape with working code.

I'm not saying the complaints are valid or invalid. I'm just saying this smells like a spacebar heating problem.

With the 12.0 release, the Minion job queue adds support for schedules (cron-style recurring jobs). By far the most requested feature in our backlog, and the most significant change since the first release of the project. #Perl

I was looking at the man page of JSON::Parse and saw these weird dices there... Absolutely convinced there was something wrong *somewhere*, I started to look further and further and.... Yes it was correct.

#unicode #perl

Hi friends.

I'm looking for alternatives to #rust. Ready to go learn something new. I'd love some recommendations on languages with the general rust ethos but less of the rust drama.

I know #zig is the obvious alternative, but the content I usually see promoting zig seems to indicate that they like zig because it isn't rust, which makes me think maybe I won't like zig. I actually do like rust.

#raku is on my list, but I don't think it's going to fit the bill.

I need to do:
- #webdev
- cli tooling (with emphasis on good TUI tooling)
- general scripting
- work with lots of concurrency

I want the language to:
- be fun to write
- be strongly typed
- tell me when I'm doing something stupid
- not be overly invested in a particular niche
- not be primary sponsored by a corporate entity
- not be interpreted
- include a dependency tool chain like Cargo

Taking a strong stance on:
- nothing falling over itself to cram LLMs in

I have lots and lots of experience with these already:
- #perl
- #php
- #python
- #ruby
- #elixir
- #rust
- #c

Suggestions don't need to hit every bullet point. Added tags along the way to try hitting a wide audience. Hit me with your best stuff.
