Hi there,
Talking about conference, I would like to share a big announcement about The Perl and Raku Conference 2025. It was a big surprise for me. I hope and wish this time, it would be a big crowd puller for both attendees and sponsors. We even have the action report of TPRC 2024 as shared by TPF. Plenty of interesting results came out of it.
Well, if we are talking conference then how can we miss the long awaiting London Perl & Raku Conference 2024. It is going strong as we are approaching the event. A gentle reminder to myself to get my slides ready for my talk. I am super excited to meet my heroes in person.
Last but not least, you please take care of your health. Enjoy rest of the newsletter.

To The Weekly Challenge #286
Nice breakdowm of task into easy to understand action. The end result is short and crispy. Cool, keep it up.
The Game of Order
CPAN can never let you down, if you know what you are looking for. Here we found another gem function that takes all the work load. Highly recommended.
Quines are boring, but generative AI still can't do my job
Story telling format is one of my favourite and this is exactly what I like. It is worth checking, you really don't want to skip.
Week 286 - Self Spammer & Order Game
Clever recursive function is not a bad choice, to be honest. I liked the implementation too, keep it up great work.
