This article is full of rubbish. Like this:
2000 Python 2.0 released 1994 Perl 5 released
2008 Python 3.0 released 2000 – present[/b] Perl 6 "in development"
It's more like
2013 — Perl 5.18 released
Perl 6 is entirely different language (with unfortunate name). And honestly, as a language it's light years ahead of python.
- fearface 13y agoSometimes being light years ahead and being completely out of touch are interchangeable statements.
- lelf 13y agoNot in this case. Just unpopular. Perl6 is probably one of the most practical and modern(ish) languages out there.
- abraham_s 13y agoI liked writing Perl instead of bash but I couldn't shake the "whole thing is a hack" feeling. That why I found myself using more and more Python. Is Perl 6 is more consistent(for lack of a better word) language ?
- kamaal 13y ago>>Is Perl 6 is more consistent(for lack of a better word) language ? Not the right way of looking at it. Perl 6 doesn't continue from Perl 5. Its more like a total redesign. Some even say, they are so different Perl 6 isn't even Perl(5) anymore- only common things being sigils, core philosophy and the author. I can't obviously write a complete synopsis of Perl 6 in a comment. But its like what Perl 5 would look after 20-30 years in development + Lisp powers in C syntax.
