  Wait, what? Perl 6 is real, released and essentially stable. The ecosystem for the language is also evolving at a good pace.

      we waited for them since the very beginning of the millenium, i played with both and here is the difference: DNF is very desapointed and is not the revolution i expected. Perl6 is a game changer and push the idea of "scripting" way beyond i was imagining it (and i played with a lot of langages)

        Perl 6 is more than a scripting language. It clearly has elements of a very general high level language that can scale to large program sizes.

    It seems that the most advanced implementation doesn't yet have all the Perl 6 features in the spec..?

      The written specification wasn't being kept in sync with the implementation and has been relegated to the status of 'design document'. The language is nowadays defined and versioned through its test suite, and there have been two releases (v6.c in Dec 2015 and v6.d in Nov 2018).
