Larry Wall Speaks at Google 

He does his presentation in Suckless Sent! I love him even more now.

That's the same fucking shirt from the BigThink videos! Go Larry

Ah, interesting! Thank you for this enlightening video about the Perl Programming language.

Looking forward to Perl 6!

Still looking forward to Perl 6!

Still looking forward to Perl 6 :)

When Perl 6?

I love "cargo cult parsing"

Shouldn't the video title be more specific? Like: "[...] about Perl 6"?

As an atheist, I have no problem with Larry's faith. He doesn't introduce it in a context where it's irrelevant.

It's released.

He is using Vi Editor!

You must be a hard core pearl lover to get through this :)

@therealmicksa And we might always be

I talked with Dameon Conway about 8 years ago and Perl 6 was just around the corner.....one heck of a big corner. I left Perl in favor of Python to keep my sanity and the community.

did he practice this before he gave it?

Dat 'stache doe!

Python has some of the ugliest syntax I've ever seen. I hope the sample that Larry shows here with perl 6 is *not* indicative that P6 is going to try to emulate pythons 'minimalist' syntax.

@richard92m Its a better idea to dig deeper in to Perl5 that way when Perl6 inevitably falls flat on its face with its idiotic 'virtual machine' routines you will have a strong grasp of a Perl that actually works and you will be able to branch off the *good* version of Perl. Then the poor morons who invested so much time in to the crummy Perl6 will be stuck trying to figure out what to do next.

Yet another demonstration, if it wasn't already abundantly and painfully obvious, that the trendy, youtube, teenage atheist loves to blather senselessly.

"All taking your afternoon nap huh? Caffeine works wonders" Nope Larry, you're just boring and very strange. Caffeine doesn't cure that.
