Talkat FOSDEM 2021 · on Saturday, 2021-02-06· at 13:35· D.perl

Predicts how CPAN-provided language extensions using Syntax::Keyword::Try, Future::AsyncAwait and Object::Pad may influence Perl’s evolution by 2025, surveying experimental features like try/catch, async/await, and Object::Pad’s object system and noting other requested ideas (case matching, multiple dispatch, keyword-applied type assertions). It considers whether widely adopted module-driven features could be migrated into Perl’s core syntax.
