Hi there,

I am sitting in my bomb-shelter trying to think what could I write about Perl, but frankly nothing comes to my mind. There is hardly anything going on in the Perl world. I barely managed to find 7 articles to include.

As you might know <a href="http://lenjaffe.com/">Len Jaffe</a> runs the <a href="http://lenjaffe.com/AdventPlanet/">Advent Planet</a>, an aggregation of Advent calendars. He asked us to mention that if you are planning to run an advent calendar, contact him to be included in his aggregator!

So what can I write about? In the last 2 weeks I managed to work a bit and for one week I volunteered to work on a farm to pick avocados. At least during that time I did not watch news and did not have to hear about the total loss of sanity on the streets of the Western cities and in many of the Western university campuses.

So what am I working on? I have been working a lot on my Rust projects. If you are interested to follow what I am doing here are the instructions to <a href="https://rust.code-maven.com/subscribe">subscribe</a> to my newsletter.

If you are interested in my point of view about what's going on in Israel and what's going on in the world about 'the conflict', I have another newsletter with <a href="https://israel.szabgab.com/subscribe">instructions to subscribe</a>

Finally a reminder: if you'd like to see more Perl-related content in the Perl Weekly, then write more!

Enjoy your week!
