Portland Perl Mongers -- C'Dent, the Acmeism, and Everyone
Free Geek

speaker: Ingy döt Net

Ingy will give a talk about:

  • Acmeism - Programming above programming languages
  • C'Dent - A portable module programming language
  • Stardoc - An Acmeist documentation system
  • TestML - An Acmeist unit test language

Imagine writing a Perl module, and then uploading it to RubyGems and PyPi and a dozen other language repositories as a native module for that language. C'Dent compiles modules Perl, Python, Ruby and JavaScript modules to many languages. Stardoc reformats POD to many other formats. TestML lets you write one set of tests that all the compiled modules must pass before shipping.

This is the future. This is Acmeism.

As always, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the Lucky Lab.

Portland Perl Mongers – Pegex: Perl 6 Grammar Everywhere.
Free Geek

speaker: Ingy döt Net - http://ingy.net/

Acmeism (http://acmeism.org) is the ability to think about and express one's creative ideas, beyond language borders. In programming, this means creating things that benefit multiple languages and communities. Perl is effectively one great community with 2 great languages (Perl 5 and Perl 6). Acmeism is essential to mongers, but kindly extends to pythonistas, brigadiers and nodelings as well.

Pegex is an Acmeist parsing language. Think of it as Perl 6 Rules and Regexp::Grammars for all programmers. Write One Grammar, Parse Everywhere. This makes Pegex the quintessential tool in the Acmeist's belt. Pegex.pm is fully functional in Perl 5, and working it's way across the Acmeist landscape. Come see Ingy döt Net (an inventor of YAML and the father of Acmeism) talk about Pegex and the exciting future of Acmeism.

As usual, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the Lucky Lab.

Zissou Society for Programming Language Exploration
Engine Yard

Inaugural meeting!

The Zissou Society for Programming Language Exploration (aka pdxlang) is a general programming language discussion/exploration group. The weird, the offbeat, the little-known, the forgotten programming languages. These are the things we'll be discussing.

We have three talks lined up:

  • Bart Massey will show us Inform 7.
  • Joe Groff is going to present on Factor.
  • Markus Roberts will give a talk on ... something. We're still working that out. If you've seen Markus present before, you know it's probably more fun that way.

Rumor has it that there will be pizza and beer.
