The Perl and Raku Conference 2024 in Las Vegas

What's the best language for writing scripts?
Is it Bash? Perl? Raku? YAML?
Huh? YAML's not even a scripting language...
Well it is now, and it might be your go to language after this talk!
Ingy wants to show you how to be super productive with nice clean functional YAML code.
Welcome to YAMLScript!While YAMLScript is focused on making YAML configuration be incredible, it's also a complete functional programming language.
It comes with an extensive standard library, tons of external real world external libraries, all the things you expect a real programming language to have.
How is that possible? It's because YAMLScript jit-compiles to another real world language, Clojure.
But while Clojure is a Lisp that runs on the JVM, YAMLScript looks closer to Python and needs no JVM.
It's clean, fast and a great way to script just about anything.
And if your script needs data, well I hope you know we got you covered!

Come hear Ingy dot Net tell you about this great new addition to your day to day hacking toolbox.Audience: All[]
