The perl6intro website shows you the essentials of what you need and the ecosystem has matured a lot since 2014 as well as many good books being published. Laurent Rosenfield has a Think Perl6 book that you can buy in paper or read online for free. If you can already code, getting proficient in basic Perl6 is easy. Becoming a master is outside my current grasp.
- kev6168 8y agoThanks for the recommendations. One liners are fun, and life-saving. I am curious about this aspect compared to Perl 5. With Perl 6's new syntax and language features, can we still easily [ab]use one liners for fun and profit?
- raiph 8y agoCons: * Rakudo -- the only P6 compiler for now (and likely many years, maybe forever) -- has a slow startup, around 0.1 seconds or so. * Rakudo is still a work in progress. What's done is pretty solid but, for example, no one has implemented the `-a` awk/autosplit command line option (cf https://gist.github.com/raiph/1d0cbefcb3cfe45b0b906282e6e40519 https://gist.github.com/raiph/1d0cbefcb3cfe45b0b906282e6e405...) and command line usage is currently `use strict;` by default so you have to declare variables with `my`. * Pros P6 makes for sweet oneliners... 25 one liners being written up this month: https://perl6.online/category/advent-calendar/ https://perl6.online/category/advent-calendar/ 9 categories last updated a year ago: https://github.com/dnmfarrell/Perl6-One-Liners https://github.com/dnmfarrell/Perl6-One-Liners https://www.google.com/search?q=perl6+oneliners https://www.google.com/search?q=perl6+oneliners https://www.google.com/search?q=perl6+one+liners https://www.google.com/search?q=perl6+one+liners
