Re "Perl (5 & 5)": if you really want to be buzzword compliant, that should read "Perl, Raku", as Perl 6 has been renamed to Raku ( https://raku.org ) using the #rakulang tag for social media.

Please note that Perl 6 has been renamed to "Raku" ( https://raku.org using #rakulang as a tag for social media). In Raku, the comparison operator is basically a subroutine that uses multiple dispatch to select the corr

Raku (née Perl 6) has phasers that will be called when exiting a scope. One such idiom is: { # do stuff my $dbh = DB.connect(...); # do stuff LEAVE .disconnect with $dbh; # do stuff } Wh

Just for the record: Raku (née Perl 6) most definitely does not do refcounting. If you want to do serious async programming, refcounting becomes a nightmare to get right and/or a source of potential deadlocks.

Some additional info on this excellent article: Zoffix worked very hard on giving Perl 6 a different name. At that time however, the Perl 6 community was not ready for that yet. Which resulted in Zoffix leaving the Perl 6 community. In Oc

Thank you for these goals :-) Just for the record: yes, there are faster ways of finding the 10000th prime, but I use this example often as an example of a CPU-intensive task that can be spread over multiple threads easily. Also, please no

The Raku runtime is still improving, and several object creation benchmarks now outrun Perl. A low bar, some might argue. But still. Threading can make a difference on non-IO bound tasks if you're interested in wallclock rather tha

> And my impression is that Raku doesn’t get very high performance with its multithreading Could you elaborate on how you got that impression? Do you have any benchmarks that the Raku core developers could look at?

In the end, there was no transition of Perl 5 to Perl 6. Recently it was decided to rename Perl 6 to Raku, freeing up both languages from decades long entanglement. https://raku.org Not sure what this would imply for a future

This is not a bug. This is irresponsible behaviour on the side of Tesla, providing hardware that is so open to abuse. With potential effects to the grid as well.

FWIW, Perl 6 prefers to be called Raku now.
