I remember an earlier Perl6/Rakudo post here (I think), where chromatic showed up and mentioned a few things that had been running reliably for a couple years in his stack. That it was at least "good enough" for his purposes.
- labster 11y agoThat's hard to believe. I've never heard chromatic have anything positive to say about Perl 6.
- berntb 11y agoHe put lots of hard work into the project, he wouldn't have done that if he had nothing positive to say. (But sure, lots of stuff have been backported to Perl 5, so the step up to Perl 6 is smaller today.) He seemed a bit unhappy with some of the internal mess of the development, but that is not exactly uncommon for big projects.
- cygx 11y agoChromatic used to be a proponent of Perl6, defending it against criticism and claims of being vaporware. I don't quite remember when he became a critic, 2010-ish or so.
- tadzik_ 11y agoAround the time when Rakudo further detached itself from Parrot, and declared an effort to support alternative VMs (eventually writing one of its own).
- kbenson 11y agoNo, I think it was well before that, and he was just more vocal at that point. IIRC became rather disillusioned with the project quite a while back, and he wasn't even involved with it (maybe nominally) at that point.
- chromatic 11y agoa few things that had been running reliably for a couple years in his stack They stopped running reliably several years ago and I stopped caring.
- scrame 11y agoOh, well, there ya go!
