How many releases of Perl 6 do you want to see?
- donaldc 16y agoI can't speak for the grandparent of this comment, but I'd like to see a Perl 6 release that is actually competitive with perl5 and python in a production setting. Last I heard, the Perl 6 implementations were still very slow, and lacking significant functionality specified in the Synopses. Until such a release happens, Perl 6 is a nice idea, but not actually useful to me.
- chromatic 16y agoI understand, and I likewise look forward to much improved performance.
- jonathansizz 16y agoAnd I'd like to see 1] Larry et al. publish the first edition of 'Programming Perl 6' and 2] something analogous to the CPAN for Perl 6. Then I'll jump right in!
