A recent [0]clpmisc [1]post ([2]link @ [3]GG) resulted in a largely
obnoxious and long thread in which amongst other things people talked
about the already oft discussed question re whether Perl should be
standardized or not.
In a [4]post ([5]link @ GG) I just read today, [6]Peter J. Holzer -in
reply to a mention of which Larry Rosler's famous [7]"ANSI Standard
Perl?" interview- pretty much settles the down the question:
The argument about the "marketing value" of a standard has some
merit. But a standard is neither necessary nor sufficient for
success, even in corporate and governmental environments.
There is no Windows ISO standard, no Java ISO standard, and yet these
are used very widely. OTOH there is an ISO (or at least ANSI) CPU
standard (for a subset of the SPARC ABI, IIRC) which nobody cares
about and I think the Pascal or BASIC ISO standards are similarily
inconsequential.
Successful standards (like C90 or POSIX) are developed after there
have been multiple implementations and when the implementors actually
want to converge on a single standard. In the case of an open source
interpreted language like perl5 there is little value in a standard.
There is only one implementation, a second implementation is unlikely
to happen (porting is almost always easier than rewriting from
scratch) if it happens compatibility is probably only a minor goal.

[0]hcchien writes "Most open source developers often get lots of new
ideas. And they implement them all the time. The open source developers
share their code to others, and get more feedback from the end users and
other developers.
Internet is a good way to share their ideas and code. If you want to get
more feedback directly or share more experiences to others. And you want
to get more developers to hack together. It's a good time to submit your
paper and proposal to OSDC.tw 2008.
The subject of OSDC.tw 2008 would be the "Innovation and Implementation".
You can share with others your ideas and implementation. The deadline of
the CFP is 2008/2/15, and the conference schedule will be releaded after
the end of call for paper. The date of OSDC.tw 2008 would be the mid of
April 2008. We will announce the date after the venue is confirmed.
For submitting the papers, you should include subject, extract. And tell
us how long is your talk. It could be a tutorial (180 mins) or session
(60 mins), you can either submit a lightening talk.
Please attach the speaker introduction when you submit the paper. And
send it to [1][email protected]"

Earlier this Fall, I [0]interviewed Jesse Vincent about his role as Perl
6 Project Manager, which he's held since 2005. You may know him lately as
the guy underwriting [1]Perl 6 Microgrants, or as the owner of [2]Best
Practical, the people who bring us [3]RT for CPAN. Now read about his
Perl 6 Project Manager duties.
