**This time it's personal.**
In August 2007, Matt Trout and I spent two days discussing Yet Another Attempt to Rewrite Perl—both the language and its runtime. One idea stood out from everything else and lodged itself firmly in both our minds.
After Matt's passing earlier this year, I dug through old IRC logs to find that conversation and revisit those ideas. What I discovered surprised me: Matt had already started building it.
This talk explores the crazy theories, early prototypes, and wild ideas Matt left behind—and how they could become the foundation for a future Perl.
