A long time ago I made a poster for Perl 6 called "Periodic Table of the Operators".

This year, the Perl/Raku team asked me to update the poster for the current version of the language (now called Raku).

I did, and they printed and sold lovely posters at FOSDEM, as seen in the quoted post.

Full poster can be seen the next post...

@zero full points for mindful use of Zapfino

@ytetic When I first made this poster, someone on reddit noticed that I had carefully used the alternate letter forms Zapfino has, which really made my day!

@zero it's such an elegant design if used well, it makes me sad when I see it used as a blunt instrument. Hey bud that's what Helvetica is for.

@zero anyway. I know nothing about the language but I'm enjoying the design :)
