I’m sorry you were disappointed, Bowen. But “present the latest features of Perl 6” is what we promised in the description above, and so that’s what we did. In fact, it’s what we’ve done every year for most of the past decade. If it’s any consolation, the higher-level, more interesting talk you were hoping for is scheduled for this afternoon.
I came to hear Larry talk about perl, not hear the latest changelog from the dev tree. A higher-level talk would have been more interesting.
