"Object-oriented programming including generics, roles" is basically it, as far as I know following developments from an appropriate distance.

There was no admitting to themselves. There was the personal realization that the two factions in what was then the Perl community, would never see eye to eye on what the language called "Perl 6" was. And that all of my efforts o

I wouldn't say that Raku is a complex language. Raku is a typical example of a programming language in which the *developers* of the language are tortured to make the *use* of the language much easier. A carefully balanced quantity of

True. But Raku ( https://raku.org #rakulang) does have an Inline::Perl5 module, which allows you to use 99.9% of modules on CPAN (basically, only the ones using source-filters, and ones that are really, really deep into the Perl

That "new" Perl landed in 2015 as "Perl 6". It has been renamed to The Raku Programming Language in 2019 ( https://raku.org #rakulang).

No, I will not. As far as the Raku CAT is concerned, he is now serving his "sentence" of being banned, until Jan 1st, 2022. We will see what happens after that. I sincerely hope that the Raku CAT will not have to address any rep

It keeps being hosted on BackPAN, where *all* modules live, even after they are removed from CPAN itself.

Indeed. But please note Perl 6 has been renamed to the Raku Programming Language ( https://raku.org #rakulang).

I guess in Raku you would create a Boat role, and you would create a clone of a House instance with the Boat role mixed in, when needed. In Raku speak: my $house = House.new; my $houseboat = $house but Boat; See: https:&#x2F
