The Language Formerly Known As Perl6 - see https://raku.org/ https://raku.org/
- geerlingguy 4y agoThanks! Interesting that in all the time I've done web and infra dev work (mostly Python, PHP, and Go, sometimes Ruby), I've never heard of Raku, nor knew what happened to Perl after the Perl 5-to-7 thing (also similar with PHP 5-7... though no PHP 6 ever got resurrected).
- cesarb 4y ago> (also similar with PHP 5-7... though no PHP 6 ever got resurrected) There's a profound difference: PHP 6 was never released (it was abandoned before its official release), but Perl 6 was released under the "Perl 6" name (https://developers.slashdot.org/story/15/12/26/0354235/perl-6-released https://developers.slashdot.org/story/15/12/26/0354235/perl-... is one reference, you have to use the web archive to look further since the release history became somewhat hidden after the rename).
