> marketing of perl core dev is terrible A link "Current Developments" in perl.org would be helpful. Thanks for the links but I'm not interested in minor changes of Perl 5 (Unicode etc.). I was very interested in the new features of Perl 6. No matter, I lost my patience and left Perl years before and returned into the Lisp and Scheme world where I was before. Sometimes I still use Perl 5 but merely for small scripts. Perl 6 got stuck in Parrot while Lisp enjoys a revival in Clojure, Qi/Shen and Racket Scheme which are all usable and under heavy development. The new Lisp versions support multiprocessors and compile to JVM, Javascript (V8), Lisp, Scheme or C. Lisp and Scheme macros are still superior. In Qi/Shen I can even write attribute grammars in BNF style. I can compile my source to standalone native EXE files which are really fast. For that reason I prefer Scheme and Lisp over Python and Ruby. I don't need Perl 6 anyymore!
