Rats! Now I'll have to stop joking that Duke Nukem Forever is in a holding pattern, waiting for a rewrite in Perl 6. And it would have been great, too -- if they just could have gotten a fully implemented Perl 6 compiler in time! :-D
- bad_user 17y agoParrot 1.0 was released. This means the API is more stable, and this was the main problem of Rakudo (the Perl 6 compiler for Parrot). The jokes about Perl 6 are kind of lame. It's an open-source project and you can check its progress (instead of reading reddit :)) ... regular releases are made, and it does have a comprehensive tests suite. The latest version released in April is passing 10467 spectests (65% of the tests suite), with an increase of 3194 since March. I know that it's fun joking about such projects, but Perl 6/Parrot are very ambitions, and even if they could use some help, progress is being made. I wouldn't be surprised if the "Christmas release" is this year.
