Stealing an idea from Perl, and bringing it back improved!

Let’s explore what it’s like to be inspired and migrate a feature from Perl to another language, and then to bring it back with improvements

I will demonstrate in this talk a trivial but useful behavior in Perl

perl -E 'my $foo = "a"; say $foo++ for 0..100;'

We’ll take this feature to another language (Rust), and then bring it back to Perl improved and optimized!

This talk assumes no knowledge of Perl or Rust and introduces the concepts as needed.
