Bringing Data Types Perl

• The Perl::Types Committee exists to organize and promote data type system projects within the global Perl community.
• The committee is governed by democratically-elected leadership, and all major decisions are decided by the vote of committee members.
• Committee meetings have openly-available agendas and minutes for the public record.
• Perl community members are invited to apply for membership in the committee.
• Meetings are held every other Thursday from 1:45pm to 2:00pm central time zone. The first meeting date of 2024 is 1/11.
• Hackathons are held every 6 weeks on the Wednesday night before a meeting from 7:00pm to 9:00pm central time zone (unless otherwise stated). Perl::Types Hackathon dates for 2024 are 2/7, 3/20, 5/1, 6/12, 7/24, 9/4, 10/16, and 11/27.
• The goal is to have major ongoing Perl::Types accomplishments by our committee.

Static Optimizing Compiler for Perl

• A fundamental component of computer programming languages are compilers, which allow a programmer to convert their human-readable source code into machine-readable binary code.


• The Perl language has always had an interpreter, but Perl source code was never able to be fully compiled... until now.


• The Perl::Types Committee has released the RPerl optimizing compiler built on the Perl type system, enabling you to compile your static Perl source code.


• The goal is to develop full compiler support in Perl.
