Zebras in the Perl 6 herd
Posted: 07/05/2011 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »Well, the #perl6 herd mostly. Where did they come from? Well, it all started with this tadzik guy one day on the #perl irc channel.
tadzik | good evening zebras! colomon | zebras? tadzik | oh, I just felt a need for a funny greeting tadzik | how are things?
Zebras had to wait to become noticed until the morning next day:
masak | <tadzik> good evening zebras! masak | I for one hope this will become an instant classic :) jnthn | It may, but it's not black and white.
And it did became, actually. Since that day, zebras have been mentioned 230 on #perl6, my irc logs say. In a various forms, in a various contexts. But the main idea remained. -Ofun, all the way.
(Gee, that sounds so official)
Zebra is also a codename of a Secret Project of mine, a bit GSoC related. But that’s another story, and it’s not coming very soon anyway.

The problem is that for me, everything is obvious, so it surely needs clarifications, examples etc. Any ideas, changes, patches are welcome as always. Here is the document: read it, let me know what’s stupid or what’s not clear enough.
