With profound sadness, I share that we've lost our good friend and colleague Brendan McAdams (@rit ). A brilliant programmer and cherished member of our community, Brendan was a core contributor to Perl and someone who stood firmly by his principles throughout his career. Please boost so others may know his name and legacy. (1/8)

@tpolecat @armurray @rit Yes, so shocking. It's so hard to know what people are really going through sometimes, even when you are close to them.

@tpolecat @deanwampler @armurray @rit Sad news!

I'll wipe a tear from my eye and pour a glass of fine whisky. Cheers Brendan, you will be remembered!

@tpolecat @deanwampler @armurray @rit Same here. It's hard to read his last message he sent me without seeing in it something that I should have understood better.
