- orkoden 12y agoPython 3 is doing a lot better than Perl 6.
- sitkack 12y agoEven if Python 3 emerges as this great thing, it could still stunt the Python ecosystem. Python (the thing) is distinct from Python programming, there are plenty of amazing languages that no one uses.
- yarrel 12y agoRebol is doing better than Perl 6. Python 3 occasionally prevents work getting done in Python 2. That's it.
- jevinskie 12y agoPerl 6 isn't stifling Perl 5, at least not anymore. Since Perl 5.10, the releases have been fast and contain many new features.
- chromatic 12y ago"Stifling" could refer to technical aspects of the language and its ecosystem or it could refer to adoption and marketshare.
