Larry Wall is not saying P6 will be declared "officially production ready" on Jan 31st 2015. He's saying the devs are aiming to declare that sometime in 2015, quite plausibly Dec 1st 2015 or somesuch.

What about spending a few minutes exploring P6 and providing feedback about it to Larry Wall et al on #perl6? One easy way follows (for you or anyone else reading this who is curious about P6). Preferably between about noon and midnight GMT

One way in P6: say ~ m/ '@' (.*) / for lines Ignoring the regex for now (the `/.../` bit), this reads as say (`say`) the string (`~`) that matches (`m`) for each of (`for`) the lines (`lines`). Note th

TL;DR Imo specific evidence directly contradicts chromatic's assertions about the intentions, plans and actions of the Rakudo dev leads (Patrick and jnthn). My assessment, and chromatic's too I think, is there was a growing br
