After Perl 6's renaming to Raku, acknowledging that it really is another language, Perl can now use number 7 without fear. It already has claimed the newly freed territory with the announcement that Perl 5.32 with more modern and sensible defaults is to be Perl 7.

In this article I’ll give an overview of these technologies.

In the evening I modified the Makefile I use to generate this blog. I
added the --date-format argument once to tumblelog.pl and once to
tumblelog.py. Default the date-format is set to '%d %b %Y'—day
of the month, abbreviated month name, and year—but using the
aforementioned argument I changed this to '%a %d %b %Y'. This value
adds the abbreviated weekday name to the front of the date, see
strftime(3).
