[May. 14, 2004] This Week on Perl 6, Week Ending 2004-05-02 The internals list mulls over strings and multi-method dispatch, while Apocalypse 12 continues to intrigue and entertain the language list.

[Apr. 29, 2004] This Fortnight on Perl 6, Weeks Ending 2004-04-18 Parrot gains the beginnings of some Unicode support, causing much fallout; meanwhile, there's a fight over who gets the backtick operator, and what Perl 6 does to recognize and run Perl 5 code. [Apr. 22, 2004] This week on Perl 6, week ending 2004-04-04 This week, the vexed question of how assignment should work returns, and Piers tries to make sense of continuations; meanwhile, the language list comes alive on the first of April... [Apr. 4, 2004] This week on Perl 6, week ending 2004-03-28 The language list is relatively quiet, but the Parrot implementors are haunted by continuations this week. Piers has the full story.

[Feb. 29, 2004] This week on Perl 6, week ending 2004-02-22 It had to happen some day - someone wrote obfuscated Parrot assembler. Objects are nearly there, and the fight over "sort" cotinues. [Feb. 22, 2004] This week on Perl 6, week ending 2004-02-15 Parrot gains Data::Dumper, sort and nearly system(), while the language list struggles to agree on the best way to represent multi-level and multi-key sorting.
