>Perl 6

I guess I finally have a reason to learn this language.

Why perl 6 and not regular perl

because regular perl is practical
and perl6 is fun

that's why

just fucking use it motherfucker

Ruby is better

I'll stick to perl 5, thanks

Semantic processing of unicode arithmetic operators is really cool and good.

>using Perl instead of Python

They're both shit.

>Using Python when Go exists

python is awful to look at

Oooh, that gets my coder dick moist.

Perl is easier to use.

Why do people say that? Easier to use? That makes no sense from a programming perspective.

There is only base implementation, documentation, and the human's skill level regarding said language.

I would but it's too easy to just break out Python or some combination of bash/sed/awk/grep/xargs/jq/yq (so on) to do what I need to do.

I just today converted an unreadable 200 line perl script that broke on an os upgrade to 120 lines of readable C# that actually has better error handling and it was a joy to do. Fuck perl.

Then script if that is what ya wanna do. You cannot code a logic, nor script a story.

You script batch operations with minimal need for anything except run n' done.

Programming is for hardware logic optimization.

I once studied perl enough to read perl code and spot bugs in other
people's programs (but later gained the wisdom that this was not an
accomplishment -- spotting a bug in a perl program is like spotting the
dog that brought the fleas), but I don't write in it and I don't ever
plan to use it for anything (part of my new position is quality assurance
for the systems I'm inheriting responsibility for, and part of any
serious QA is removing perl code the same way you go over a dilapidated
building you inherit to remove chewing gum and duct tape and fix whatever
was kept together for real). also, very much unlike any other language I
have ever studied, perl has failed to stick to memory, a phenomenon that
has actually puzzled me, but I guess there are some things that are so
gross you just have to forget, or it'll destroy something with you. perl
is the first such thing I have known.

But perl6 is not classic perl. See the first 5 minutes of the video in OP's post and you will get hooked. It is a higher level of programming.

>Perl

Perl6 is really something else. Just watch a few minutes of the video and you might see what i mean.

what people do with perl is wrong. perl makes a whole lot of tasks
easy to do, but if you look closely, you will see that those tasks are
fundamentally braindamaged, and should never have been initiated. perl
is perhaps the best example I can think of for a theory I have on the
ills of optimization and the design choices people make. most people,
when faced with a problem, will not investigate the cause of the problem,
but will instead want to solve it because the problem is actually in the
way of something more important than figuring out why something suddenly
got in their way out of nowhere. if you are a programmer, you may reach
for perl at this point, and perl can remove your problem. happy, you go
on, but find another problem blocking your way, requiring more perl --
the perl programmer who veers off the road into the forest will get out
of his car and cut down each and every tree that blocks his progress,
then drive a few meters and repeat the whole process. whether he gets
where he wanted to go or not is immaterial -- a perl programmer will
happily keep moving forward and look busy. getting a perl programmer
back on the road is a managerial responsibility, and it can be very hard:
the perl programmer is very good at solving his own problems and assure
you that he's on the right track -- he looks like any other programmer
who is stuck, and this happens to all of us, but the perl programmer is
very different in one crucial capacity: the tool is causing the problems,
and unlike other programmers who discover the cause of the problem sooner
or later and try something else, perl is rewarding the programmer with a
very strong sense of control and accomplishment that a perl programmer
does _not_ try something else.

Ok. But perl6 is a different language. Is not a scripting tool that became a programming language. Is an advanced programming language from the beggining. You can bash perl5 all you want. But this is not perl5.

(OP) Perl 6 is a beautiful language with incredible ideas learned from very careful analysis of existing languages and modern programming. It's threading is best bar none because multi-core functionality is just assumed to be something you'd want to do.

Sadly Perl6 that suffers from both sides due to its original inspiration. Perl 5 programmers feel that it has deprecated Perl 5 and isn't Perlish enough (it's not backwards compatible and I don't mean slightly not like Python 3 versus 2.7, it's not backwards compatible at all). Meanwhile non (or post) Perl 5 (or worse Perl 4) programmers tar it with all the negative feelings they have about Perl 5. It

As someone who has written in Perl 5, Ruby, Python, C and bash extensively, and who still loves Perl I've watched the (slow) development of Perl 6 with mixed feelings. It is every awesome programming concept built elegantly. But although many of those awesome ideas were backported to Perl 5, the idea that Perl 5 was about to be superseded any month now by its successor contributed to its loss of popularity. Maybe not as much as the damage done by the many atrocious examples of Perl code scattered across the web. And other factors too.
