This is an informal series of study sessions focused on (though not at all limited to) the new language Raku (formerly known as "Perl 6"). A break from the past and one of the contenders for language of the future. We meet a block away from the Lake Merritt BART station at the Oakland Museum in the cafe which is open to the public free of charge. This is arelatively unstructured gathering focusing on chatting and shoulder-surfing, without a lot of planned presentations-- though if you've got something you'd like to show off, by all means bring it with you.
