You can look here for code examples for a given problem: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Perl_6 We also had an online training about binding C-libs (the first online training that I know of), but it was not…
And at that point they found out that Perl 6 will be a complete rewrite and not just a cleaned up Perl 5. I also guess that the Second System feeling already arrived in some minds, the problem IMO is more that the 'by…
Exactly. So you always have two choices: 1) Just update a little step by step. Here you would keep your userbase until there is a piece of software after a decade that will take a high percentage of that userbase. 2) Do…
> that said, i thought it was it a cool language. even though i'm not sure if there was a clear direction of where it was going. Why are you using past tense? When you skim the last year here you cannot say that Perl 6…
That really depends. If you need a richful module ecosystem then you won't be that lucky. But if your task would be doable with the many built-ins (and the modules shown on modules.perl6.org), then I'd say use it. I see…
BeerVM was also considered as a name :o)
That is the whole point, yes. It will get no features that are fun to implement but won't help Rakudo (Perl 6) to run on it.
rurban is working hard these days to make Parrot fast again. Let's check again in a month to see how this went out :o)
