The rise of Whatever

This was originally titled “I miss when computers were fun”. But in the course of writing it, I discovered that there is a reason computers became less fun, a dark thread woven through a number of events in recent history. Let me back up a bit.

Version 42, subversion 0 of Perl 5 is now available.

Perl 5.42 was released this afternoon. Perl still has a major release every year (don't believe people who tell you it hasn't changed since Perl 5.0 was released in 1994). This is not your father's Perl.

So tired of "Will OpenBSD work well for me?" posts.

There's generally a few things that will rule it out, like wanting it to run Linux apps (or god forbid, windows apps). Other than that? One needs to try it out to know. You're preferences and tolerances are unique to you.

Besides, much of the peanut gallery that will tell you "OpenBSD won't do this or that" are just wrong. They're either years out of date on their information, haven't tried it themselves, or are just making shit up.

#Perl 5.42.0 release candidate 2 is now available for testing!

Download it from CPAN and kick the tires!

What’s new? Quite a bit, including enhancements to the new use feature 'class'; object-oriented #programming system, new any and all operators, and private methods. Plus there’s full support for the Unicode 16.0 standard to support text in all the world’s writing systems.
