Learning Perl, 6th Edition review most popular of 2011 !

The Learning Perl, 6th Edition (O'Reilly) book review had the distinction of being iProgrammer's most popular  review of 2011, between more than 250 reviews on a vast variety of subjects with thousands of reads each, but the Perl review reached top spot with 10,800 reads (figure untill 29/12/2011)
The benefit is that it exposed the language to a wide audience, since the site appeals to a general programming public from C# to Javascript, therefore I do hope that it managed to attract "new blood" and/or converts !

Greenplum's Cloudberry Fork Enters Apache Incubator

  Cloudberry is the open source equivalent of Greenplum. Now it is fostered by the Apache Foundation as it acquires incubating status. It all began about six months ago. Greenplum's Github repositories was archived and went dark. This meant no more free new releases or security and bug fixes for its users. Why? Because in May 2024, Tanzu made the decision to close-source the project. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/84-database/17694-greenplums-cloudberry-fork-enters-apache-incubator-.html
