    The infinity symbol is part of the code. This is about "the first N elements of an infinite sequence". Explaining laziness without infinite lists makes laziness harder to understand.

    I understood it was about Perl 6, but I thought the article was starting off with some pseudo-code or some other language.

    See the examples. The backslash appears only in the function signature, but not in the function itself. You have to declare that you are using sigil-less variables somehow!

    It's about time. A 10+ year transition from X.org to Wayland is long enough. X.org is open source, it is does not belong to Red Hat. It's a truly desirable technology, anyone else is welcome to contribute to the maintenance of it
