Would this have applied to, say, Perl 6 vs Raku?
- rileyphone 4y agoThe second tip is to have the next version finished within 20 years of the previous one.
- lizmat 4y agoFWIW, Perl 6 was released in 2015, so roughly 15 years after the original announcement.
- lizmat 4y agoI assume you mean Perl 5 vs Perl 6 ? One could argue that that is exactly what happened in 2008, when the "sister language" meme was introduced. At that time, the Perl Porters basically abandoned all support for Perl 6 and started developing on Perl 5 again. So development of Perl 6 basically fell back on just a handful of people, on the Parrot backend, which became less and less acceptable for Perl 6. And then people still wonder why it took so long?
