I’m into lisp and vim.
I did one small project with Perl but wasn’t excited. I was hoping for bash 2.0 but the shell integration wasn’t great. Seems like python is a similar feature set, less exotic, and has great libraries.
Anyway? What did I miss? anything I should take a second look at?
- dartos 2y agoRaku is basically perl 6 and has some features that blew my mind when I tried it a few years back. Never really did much with it, but it was enjoyable to learn.
- kjs3 2y agoThis encapsulates every conversation I have ever had with someone who tried Perl 6: Tried it, was blown away with [some aspect of it], never found anything practical to do with it, never used it again.
- RandalSchwartz 2y agoI think I even reference that in the talk... Dart is everything I wanted from Perl 6, which is why I'm happy to be coding in Dart now.
- kqr 2y agoIf you're into Lisp you're probably not missing that much. The main reason I use Perl over Lisp is that Perl is preinstalled nearly everywhere, whereas Lisp is not.
- BoingBoomTschak 2y agoYou should really look at Tcl if coming from Lisp and wanting a bash successor. Tcl (8.5) is also preinstalled on MacOS.
