I love Perl. My favourite language.
But i hate Perl6. It feels like an obnoxious showoff who people prefer not to talk to.
It offers little that I crave for in Perl. And those bits I can do with Go already.
Perl6 is a distraction from what we should have had .. I'm still dreaming of the day Perl7 comes out with these features: (i) full Perl5 functionality (without having that klunky Inline::Perl5), and (ii) built-in concurrency.
Perl6 is late to the party. Sorry kid, nobody likes you and besides, it's time to go home.
- Diederich 10y agoI've had quite a bit of luck with https://github.com/niner/Inline-Perl5 https://github.com/niner/Inline-Perl5 Curious: can you further define 'klunky'? Thanks!
- b2gills 10y agoInline::Perl5 isn't clunky if you are just using it to load modules. use Data::Random:from<Perl5> <:all> Also Perl 6 has several different forms of built-in concurrency.
