We thought that it would take a year or two, not decades.
Also, the intent was to have a Perl 5 compatibility mode.
- aaronbaugher 1y agoLooks like the last time I tried out Perl 6 was almost 10 years ago. Even wrote a few blog posts about it before giving up on it again. Might be time to take another look.
- lizmat 1y agoThere is a Perl 5 compatibility mode: it's called Inline::Perl5. Maybe not the one that was originally planned. But that was only a real possibility if Perl 5 would be able to get rid of its XS addiction. Ask yourself: how many of the up river Perl modules are Perl only?
