Damian Conway's keynote at #tprc2024 was very much up to his usual high standard:
I don't want to give too much away for those who haven't seen it (stop reading here if you like to go in *fresh*), but I already miss smartmatch and I never even really used it... #perl

in reply to fuzzix • • •I think Multi::Dispatch (or Switch::Right) might become my favourite perl module.😍
That's why I love e.g. #erlang and #raku, for example, and I've always wanted something like that for perl. I hope it becomes a permanent part of #perl language at some point.
Edit:
Although I also find the AI part of the presentation interesting. It plays with the possibilities of how AI might change programming in the future. I've often thought about this myself often.
