> I wonder if they got burned by Perl 6/Raku. I have the same feeling. I've been programming Perl since mid 90s, and I was - as many others - hyped when Perl 6 was announced early 2000s. 20 years later, it's just different programming language in my eyes; I won't spend any time on it, because if I need Perl, Perl 5.x will do just fine. Unfortunately, because of Perl 6/Parrot/Raku, or what the current name is, I think it made many developers get off the Perl train. There are lots of good frameworks for Perl that makes it super-easy to get something up and running really quickly; * Mojolicious (and its multitude of plugins, Minion etc.) * DBIx::Class (not pretty, but still just works) * Moose/Mouse (for decent OOP) * JSON::Validator (and friends, for mocking and validating) The list goes on, but this is the "out of the box"-stuff for me to get up and running with something, if not just a prototype of something.
