Exegesis 5Anyone else get more and more glad that Ruby exists every time they see a
new Perl Exegesis?
Actually, there are some pretty cool things in this particular exegesis.
Check it out. I just skimmed it, but it seems like they’re making regex’s
more object oriented for one. Also, they’re adding the ability to define
grammars (looks like a new grammar keyword has been added) with rules and
patterns. This will be a great language for parsing other languages.
The executive summary of A5/E5 is “Perl 5 regexes with yacc and lex rolled in”.
