HEADLINES
Two of the three members who joined the Team PWC last week, shared solutions to the “Perl Weekly Challenge - 068”. When I requested them for a brief introduction, most of them came back with Perl background. But then Myoungjin Jeon surprised me with solutions in Raku as well. I came across one of his blog where he mentioned about his work on creating combinations in Perl in the year 2013. What more he can do now, I wonder? May be one day, he would share his knowledge in Python? It is always pleasure to meet such talented person. You get to learn a lot from them.
Luckily we have plenty of such talents in the Team PWC. I find it hard to keep up with so many different solutions every week. I find RECAPS very handy in a sense that it gives overview of the past week. I can pick and choose what I want to read depending how much spare time I have. I use my spare time very carefully otherwise I end up fighting for it in the end.
I would also like to mention Walt Mankowski who have always contributed in Perl, has now started doing Python as well. It is impressive, how comfortable he is with Python. I have been thinking of doing Python myself since the beginning of year 2020 but never got around it. Perl and Raku is taking most of my time these days. I promise one day, I will surprise everyone.
I am not sure, if you noticed one member who has been contributing in Perl (36) and Raku (55) consistently. He is currently ranked #020 being a member of Centurion Club. Well he didn’t just stop there but he also contributed in C++ (15) and Haskell (19). With that he is currently ranked #001 in the Guests Report. Do I still need to tell the name?
Last but not the least, I would like to thank Arne Sommer for contributing in Perl as well. Earlier he would only do in Raku but for the last few weeks, he has been doing in both Perl and Raku. Reading his blog is always fun.
