There is no Perl 6. They finally woke up to the fact that the Perl 6 never-ending development was hurting the language, and now it’s a completely different project (Raku).
- lizmat 4y agoThat is incorrect, for several reasons. If you consider "never-ending development" until the first release, then Perl 6 ended development in 2015 when it was released. If you consider "never-ending development" biologically, then it just means that the language is alive. Which it is, and Perl as well for that matter. If you consider the language "Perl", then it should continue to be noted that for Larry Wall, Perl 6 (now Raku) still IS the next version of Perl. It just has a different name now.
