Thanks.

What would make it a first-class citizen? Even an empty Rakudo Perl 6 program is a multi-threaded program, as the dynamic optimizer runs on a separate thread. I'd figure if that's …

I like concurrency in Rakudo Perl 6. ( https://docs.perl6.org/language/concurrency ) Especially the .hyper method that turns a regular sequence into hyper sequence that gets proces…

The Rakudo compiler: https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/ Feeling a lot more optimistic about it today than a year ago. \o/

Mixing in out-of-band data

Author here. Thanks for reading my post! :) To answer some of the comments: no, this isn't satire, nor is it a marketing or advertisement piece. I'm just having fun with the langua…

I don't mind annoying people to solve problems.

Commits that happened recently and aren't part of any release yet :)

Yes, performance is where most of the funding is currently going into. Bleed commits on VM for example, recently passed Perl 5 on speed with read-a-million-line-file-and-sum-up-num…

There's actually talk about amending the name for next major language release ( https://rakudo.party/post/The-Hot-New-Language-Named-Rakudo ). Exactly for the reasons you state: it…

Funny you mentioning Geth... Perl 6's core devs use a bot named Geth to report new commits on IRC. And.... it's written in Perl 6 ( https://github.com/perl6/geth ) :)

That's just a helper script to generate tables for for .succ/.pred string increment/decrement methods. Nd and No chars as numeric literals were available since first stable release…

> EDIT: Ok, so I installed perl6 (rakudo) just to test this out, and it apparently doesn't work out of the box. Pity. By any chance, was it from system packages that are likely out…

Ouch. That's older than first stable release :)

FWIW, a huge amount of work has been done to docs in the past year. There's even a dead-tree book available now ( https://deeptext.media/perl6-at-a-glance/ ), with 3 more slated to…

Heard of that video. It's about Perl 6's sister language, Perl 5. And the presenter basically did this for shits and giggles. Even the module that supposedly has the exploits he ta…

Biased core dev here... I've used Perl 6 for IRC bots. The ease of writing parallel code, nice OO model, multi dispatch, and subsets make it very pleasant to do them in Perl 6. Her…

It's the same thing.

For the last year, I've seen you several times re-iterate that point that just-if and if-only the handful of volunteers who drive this project made some sort of a massive media spe…

Of course, it's not. But as a developer who doesn't use those two languages my only point of contact with them is via those greybears who tarnish the image of the entire lot ;)

I wrote a short answer here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12890552 If you like go's conc stuff, then I'm sure you'll love Perl 6's async/conc/paralel. stuff: https://docs.p…

To me, it's mostly the presence of all new CS inventions in core. Like you don't need any damn libraries to paralellize stuff, just use `start` block or a `supply`. If you write ac…

The s/// is still there. You just use ~~ smartmatch operator instead of =~ binding operator. I did get it to pop up in the docs search results: https://docs.perl6.org/language/oper…
