I'm the rare person who never used Perl 5 but is trying to learn Perl 6. I haven't progressed beyond very simple scripts, but it's interesting. I especially am interested in the grammars, so I'll try to find a task where I'd get to explore them.
I have no plans to try and ship software written in it.
- throwaway7645 10y agoI'm in a similar boat. Many of the features make for great analysis language.
- chubot 10y agoWhat do you mean by analysis? Text analysis? I'm curious what features drew you toward it. Personally I think the optional typing looks interesting.
- throwaway7645 10y agoGradual typing, grammars for parsing, writing your own operators for common tasks, FP style for one-liners...there are more, but I'll have to add later when not drawing a blank.
