I'm really surprised this site is the source y'all chose to upvote. Not only was the second-newest article published in 2012, they also have an assortment of other questionable content[0][1]. Advertising from rotten.com and a category named "Jonny Jihad" are also professional touches. I mean, whatever floats your boat, but HN, is this really one of your go-to trusted news sources?

If you doubt the legitimacy of the post, I can confirm there was an event[0]. I was also there, and the blog post syncs up to what I remember from the event. I am surprised there isn't some official post event write up from the event organizers, though. http://perl6releasetalk.ticketleap.com/perl-tech-talk/details http://perl6releasetalk.ticketleap.com/perl-tech-talk/detail...

When I first started reading this I thought the site was satire, though the article itself (ignoring the site) certainly didn't feel that way.

I was delighted to see pigdog.org appear on the front page of HN; I thought it had died years ago (and I guess it mostly did). The Pigdog Journal was a Big Deal for a certain clique of nerds/technologists in the late 90s/early 00s. (You know, when Perl was also a Big Deal.) The web was a smaller, zanier place then; for those that remember that web, pigdog.org brings a wave of nostalgia.

  I edited my snark, but I was going to ask if this was "just a Perl thing?" I guess it's just a Perl thing...

It is neither go-to or trusted but it is one of the best places on the Web.
