Unfortunately, even the docs at doc.perl6.org give me the impression that either the language is extremely complicated, or that the docs leave out too many essential details, or both. I don't wish to pick apart docs here though.
I think that what Perl 6 needs if it is to have a chance to succeed is a really good comprehensive and comprehensible tutorial.
- raiph 11y agoRight. Imo Perl 6 ought to be fairly easy to learn -- the basics are simpler than Perl 5 for example -- but several parts, of which doc is one, are still weak enough that this simplicity is currently obscured. If you're interested, I'd be willing to try to personally tutor you (for free of course). I'm raiphmellor at gmail if you want a private email exchange.
