- rspeer 12y agoYou're really stretching the definition of "release" there.
- nostrademons 12y agoAccording to that page, Rakudo is a still a preview release in development. The Python 3.0-3.4 series have been full production releases. Now, I know that open-source projects are sometimes quite conservative with versioning, and one project's 0.9 may be more stable than another's 2.0. (I maintain an HTML parser [1] that's still on 0.9.3 and yet is more robust and better tested than one that is on 3.8.2.) Is this actually the case with Rakudo, though? You can write real production software with Python 3.4; can you with Rakudo #86? [1] https://github.com/google/gumbo-parser https://github.com/google/gumbo-parser
