Hi there!
Today is the 35th birthday of Perl.
If you don't have an advent calendar just go around the kitchen randomly opening doors and see if there is anything edible... Luckily you can pick from several calendars
The Perl Advent calendar ( https://perladvent.org/2023/ ) continues and now there are the The Twelve Days of Dancer ( https://advent.perldancer.org/2023 ) as well
Enjoy your week!

=20 Rust Maven https://rust.code-maven.com/ =20 Rust is, in a way, orthogonal to Perl. It is a rather verbose language wi= th a steep learning curve. However it is much faster than Perl and can be cross-compiled and easily distributed. It provides memory safety though it takes time to get used-to the ownership model. On the other hand it makes it rather easy to write threaded applications. I've been writing about Rust for a while on the Rust Maven site.
