There was no admitting to themselves.
There was the personal realization that the two factions in what was then the Perl community, would never see eye to eye on what the language called "Perl 6" was. And that all of my efforts of reconciliation, such as the Perl Reunification Summit http://blogs.perl.org/users/gabor_szabo/2013/02/perl-reunification-summit-2012.html http://blogs.perl.org/users/gabor_szabo/2013/02/perl-reunifi... had been in vain.
Which lead me to open an issue https://github.com/Raku/problem-solving/issues/81 https://github.com/Raku/problem-solving/issues/81 which in the end resulted in the rename to the Raku Programming Language https://raku.org https://raku.org .
- AceJohnny2 5y agoThanks for your perspective. From the outside, it's just "the Perl people", but of course there are lots of factions within a community. I'm sorry about your efforts being in vain. That sounds exhausting and demoralizing. What are you up to now?
- lizmat 5y agoThank you for asking. Focussing on the Raku Programming Language, being a member of the Raku Steering Council, writing a weekly blog post (https://rakudoweekly.blog/blog-feed/ https://rakudoweekly.blog/blog-feed/), writing blog posts for the Raku Advent Calendar (https://raku-advent.blog/category/2021/ https://raku-advent.blog/category/2021/), creating and maintaining modules (https://raku.land/zef:lizmat https://raku.land/zef:lizmat), doing Rakudo core development (https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/graphs/contributors https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/graphs/contributors), setting up a IRC log server (https://logs.liz.nl https://logs.liz.nl, still in alpha), posting on Reddit (https://reddit.com/r/rakulang https://reddit.com/r/rakulang) tweeting a bit (https://twitter.com/liztormato https://twitter.com/liztormato). The usual, I'd say :-)
