You're not wrong, but what I'm trying to hilight is that this transition to a compatible iteration is still ongoing nearly a decade later.

Perl6 is absolutely a new language. Perl 5 had so many structural problems it was deemed unlikely they'd be solved. Since then however lots of hard work has been done on every side. The biggest problem about Python is not the superiori

Personally I really dislike the Python documentation for an average module. Return types seem to never be specified and everything is written too much in a tutorial fashion. However, you bring up a good point as to the Language Reference &#

You mix in some classes. One of those classes overwrites a method from another. How will you know? There you go. Now you do have an annoyance with Python.

Every single annoyance you can find with Python seems thoroughly addressed. Try it and see. Let someone know if there's still major pain points and the #perl6 community would love to hear it.

Your whole post is you pointing out that you are willfully ignorant. Congratulations.

I've no idea why you were downvoted. Python is indeed going through an almost identical transition, except that 3 does not fix as much as 6.

Did you read any of the comments? I did and I am certainly not qualified enough to know if the 17x faster claim holds up at all.

You've had a perl6 pull request outstanding for a while. The differences are far too big to list simply though. Ultimately Perl6 uses Rationals by default, not Floats.

It looks quite an enjoyable process too. Design iteration is a fantastic time to really question assumptions, and reducing the number of fans for example does just that. The best I have is 9 addressable disks plus a ludicrous CPU and GPU in
