Not even close.
Also, it takes pretty vivid imagination / stout obstinance to characterize vast majority of pre-existing libs/projects and almost all new project starts using new version as a "failure".
Bunch of whining and FUD does not equate to failure.
- loeg 7y ago> Not even close. What example would you point to as a bigger failure?
- nickelpro 7y agoPerl 6, which failed so hard it's not called Perl anymore
- serf 7y agoyeah, but to be fair people had a gut-hate reaction to the word 'perl' before the update. Perl ranks up there at the top of 'lists of programming languages people love to hate.'
- WesternStar 7y agoAll of the C versions post 99 or so probably have worse adoption. New versions of ALGOL, Visual Basic, Cobol. Being infamous isn't failure being unknown is a failure. Raku is a success I never have used Perl but I checked out Raku seems alright.
