Hi there!

I don't have much to say today and frankly I am rather tired of all kinds of things not related to Perl or programming. Just looking at the news and its reflection on social media makes me extremly sad.

However, you could check out the London Perl and Raku Workshop 2024 Schedule.

Enjoy your week!
