More uses for locked boxes: Closures in Raku and Perl

By Steven Lembark

Elevator Pitch

People enjoyed last year’s closures talks. This one goes further into applying closures with basic from Perl5 & extensions in Raku.

Description

Perl has “First Class” subs, but too few people realize what and how useful they are in both general and OO code. Last year we looked at some basic definitions, this talk looks at ways to apply closures in Perl5 & Raku for fun and profit for writing re-usable or more easily configurable code.

Notes

Folks enjoyed last year’s pair of talks, pretty much the same people showed up to both so it seemed saner to do it all in one place.
