Not exactly from today, rather from a month or two ago, but still on my “noteworthy list”.

It’s been a years-long, painful process, but with the release of Perl v.5.38,0, the first bits of Corinna have been added to the Perl core. For those who have not been following along, Corinna is a project to add a new object system to the Perl core. Note that it’s not taking anything away from Perl; it’s adding a core object system for better memory consumption, performance, and elegance.
