I used perl6 to write a mini-webservice, an API-wrapper for a weather forecast API my bash script is speaking to – I of course don't want users to have to generate API keys, hence the wrapper. Programming that was straightforward, the language itself nice and powerful. But of course I did not really need a powerful language for that task. I had issues finding the right modules to use, like which webserver to use, with which module to make http requests. But the biggest issue was that the hoster I initially wanted to use doesn't have perl6 pre-installed, and compiling it fails because the compilation itself uses too much memory. I then moved it to a bare metal server, where compiling Rakudo Star succeeded. The whole Rakudo Star thing, that there are different VMs (that there are VMs in the first place), that there are different module manager, all that was totally confusing. But I liked the language itself a bit, it was nice testing something else.
