My solution is to embrace procrastination. Just makesure your procrastination tasks are worth doing. If its the TV or reddit thats bad. If it's housework thats a step up. If it's a side project you would otherwise procrastinate st

Most of the time when you "read" code you explicitly want to parse form and skim over thousands of lines to get a gist of where to drill down. All the anti arguments on this article almost show a complete inverted understanding of

As someone who started programming at a young age where using three meta keys on the ZX Spectrum was something my hands literally couldnt do... I say to all the people suggesting give kids a raw language interface, think about how accessibl

I wrote up the Perl 6 entry. It's relatively trivial to add languages to the project you just need to have a link to a docker registry with the version of R you want. The rest is basically just bits of boiler plate in the other reposit

Just use a Rakudo Star release on MoarVM and it will be stable. Since Christmas it will be stable and conform to the official 'Perl 6.C' language specification. A lot of people in Perl6 land keep up with HEAD development building

Though universities carry a lot of blame science journalists who dont read or comprehend the actual science content before writing an article should find a different career!

Sure but altering their genome subtly so that it appears natural it becomes impossible to police as the murderer is very far removed from the murder.

Expected very much to be a feature. Someone is working on emitting JavaScript from Rakudo too for Perl 6 in the browser :)

It's kind of obvious the reasoning behind it... The unicode is the mathematical or good choice for the operator character, but the majority of people have no idea how to type it. I have yet to see a keyboard with most of the unicode ma

Only if you're the kind of moron that would do it to begin with. At no point is anyone saying you should use weird quoting in comments at all. The parsed comments are used to populate dynamic documentation related to functions and cl

There is a lot of shifting around on the #perl6 chat room in recent months to get Perl6 interacting with Jupyter aka the iPython notebook. Which means you'd probably be able to use iPython command line as a command line client, just wi

Yeah I can tell you've now learnt enough of the language to judge it at all... Or perhaps not at all! http://docs.perl6.org/type/Channel Though supplies with react/whenever is a lot more exciting than channel

Well there's also a debugger for Rakudo. One that will even step through grammar/regex as they parse which is really nice. https://github.com/jnthn/rakudo-debugger and https://github.com/jnthn

It's not that common variable names use dash in the wild. Far more common is method names do. In part because of this clash but also to distinguish method names. Also jees use whitespace!! Assuming that was a serious question.

There is no Perl 7. Perl 5 has been having releases the whole time you've been doing Ruby. Each minor release of Perl 5 since 5.10 had major features comparable to Python 2 to 3 but with full backwards compatibility. Perl 6 is a whole

I don't really get why this has been posted? Yup genetic data is a thing that exists... That isn't all species that have been sequenced just the NCBI collection.

So I've written some Bio stuff for Perl 6 and unfortunately Rakudo is still way too slow for super heavy computational lifting. On average stuff is 10x slower than Perl 5 and worse case 100x. I strongly believe this will improve next y
