I love the idea, it's time to move on.
Perl5 is God. Perl6 is Jesus who will never ever return to Earth no matter how much we pray. Perl6, R.I.P.
I care so much more about the existing modules on CPAN, written for Perl5, than the [insert feature] of Perl6, or any other copy cat languages.
- philwelch 14y agoWhat does that make Perl 7, the Holy Ghost?
- hugbox 14y agoCareful there. Larry Wall, the creator of Perl, is a born-again Christian who believes that Jesus will return to Earth. This event will be called the "second coming," or "parousia." Presumably Perl 6 will be ready by that point. If you get "left behind," you can always while away the time writing Perl 6 programs, whilst waiting for the Seven Angels of the Bowl to pour out their plagues upon the Earth. P.S. The name of the Perl language is a biblical reference to the "pearl of great price" from Matthew 13:46. Srsly.
