• Here is the first post made to my WordPress in an automated way…
• I guess here is where I put “Hello, world” and for once it’s actually kind of accurate because the post is going where the world can see it.
• So, uh, Hello, world
• Well, damn, my program has a bug that makes it impossible to post more than one entry per day. It’s a very obvious bug, too.

• Perl 6 has two main interpreters:
  • Rakudo Perl which uses Parrot VM and PGE
  • Pugs which uses Haskell (and Hugs or GHC)
• Stuff about Erlang I should remember:
  • shared-nothing, async message passing
  • single assignment
  • strict or eager evaluation (as compared to lazy evaluation like in Haskell)
