This week’s Perl and Raku Conference 2022 in Houston was packed with great presentations, and I humbly added to them with a five-ish minute lightning talk on two of Perl’s more misunderstood functions: map and grep.
I’ve written much about list processing in Perl, and this talk was based on the following blog posts:
- Better Perl: Using
mapandgrep - Better Perl: Four list processing best practices with
map,grep, and more - Perl list processing is for hashes, too
- A list of Perl list processing modules
Overall I loved attending the conference, and it really invigorated my participation in the Perl community. Stay tuned as I resume regular posting!
Update for Raku
On Twitter I nudged prominent Raku hacker (and recovered Perl hacker) Elizabeth Mattijsen to write about the Raku programming language’s map and grep functionality. Check out her five-part series on DEV.to.
