Regardless of whatever Raku developers and advocates say, I, as a lead developer of Parrot, went out of my way to make it work better for P6. May I point out that basically nobody of the then Perl 6 team (except Jonathan) is currently i

Given that the multiple backend strategy only succeeded in replacing an existing backend with another backend several years later without achieving any of the interoperability goals of the JVM or CLR, I'm not even sure how to speculat

Well, you are definitely more informed about the pre-2012 period. I only really got involved from 2012 onward, so I have no first hand knowledge about that period, except maybe a few weeks in 2000 (when I was dragged in by Johan Vromans) a

My take: 1. Parrot was initially intended to be the backend for Perl 6. 2. Perl 6 didn't materialize fast enough, so Parrot started focussing on hosting other scripting languages. 3. Parrot decided to become the backend for all scrip

Perl 6 was released in December 2015. A little under 4 years later, it was renamed to Raku. Plenty of time to not be confused.

Please note that Perl 6 is no longer a thing: it has been renamed to the Raku Programming Language ( https://raku.org ). If you want to stay up-to-date, you can check out the Rakudo Weekly News at https://rakudoweekly.

FWIW, the "specification" now only has historical value, and possibly as an inspiration for implementing features that were once considered. It is nothing more than that, nor has it ever been. The test-suite is canonical: being

Indeed. It's called "the topic". In the Raku Programming Language it is set with various explicit commands, such as `given` (just set it) or `with` (only fire if instantiated). Method calls without an invocant, are executed

Indeed! :-) FWIW, the "defer" functionality is implemented as the LEAVE phaser in Raku: https://docs.raku.org/language/phasers#index-entry-Phasers__...

FWIW, that was one of the things that Larry fixed in Perl 6 (now the Raku Programming Language https://raku.org #rakulang). You can bind to a non-existing hash element (even multiple levels deep) and it won't exist until yo

To be clear: "Perl 6" has been renamed to the Raku Programming Language ( https://raku.org using the #rakulang tag on social media) and is very much a thing :-)

Raku also has the Inline::Python module, that allows you to use just about any Python (3) module "natively" in your Raku program. The interface is not as polished yet as it is with the Inline::Perl5 module, but there is a GSoC pr
