Perl6 looks like a great language. What Perl6 needs is a clear branding message which in most cases has to do to a clear use-case scenario. People need to know why do they need Perl6. In late 1990s and early 2000s Perl was CGI, which was dynamic pages on the internet.
What is Perl6 now?
- yellowapple 10y agoFor me, Perl 6's "killer feature" is the same as Perl 5's: the ability to parse arbitrary textual data with relative ease. Perl 5's regex syntax ended up becoming probably the most common thereof (mostly by way of PCRE); I suspect Perl 6's "grammars" could do the same and serve as "the" syntax for PEGs.
