> And I waited. And I waited. And I waited. I agree Raku took far, far too long to please those who waited. I'm sad that atweiden talks of Perl being disposable, especially in a thread about its future, and that they imply Raku is not destined for utter irrelevancy. I love both Perl and Raku, but irrelevancy is where we're all headed in the final analysis. That said: > The effort to move from perl5 to Raku is likely similar to the effort to move to Java, or Python, or Ruby... Fwiw: * You can use Perl libraries in Raku.[1] * You can use Perl features in Raku. * Raku has an excellent Jetbrains IDE.[2] * It has a rounded out developer story -- ecosystem, OS packaging, compiler releases, mass testing, stackoverflow knowledgebase, sophisticated profilers, debugger, and so on.
