• The current state of Perl6

  - by Cobalt

  What is the current state of Perl6, is it production-ready ? Where do we stand right now ? There are many programmers curious about the current progress of Perl6. There are also two other topics open on on reddit and perlmonks.org/?node_id=835419 about this.

• Difference between () and [] in Perl6 [migrated]

  Learning Perl 6 and had trouble to understand following Perl 6 one liner. version of Perl 6 - rakudo-star: stable 2014.04 (bottled) This works fine, array/list is sorted [njia@mb-125:~] : perl6 -e 'say [2443,5,33, 90, -9, 2, 764].sort' -9 2 5 33 90 764 2443 But this does not sort the array/list, if [].sort works why @s.sort does not? [njia@mb-125:~] : perl6 -e 'my @s = [2443,5,33, 90, -9, 2, 764]; @s.sort.say' 2443 5 33 90 -9 2 764 Change from [] to () [njia@mb-125:~] : perl6 -e 'my @s = (2443,5,33,90,-9,2,764); @s.sort.say' -9 2 5 33 90 764 2443

• What is the release date for Rakudo Star (perl6)?

  - by kbenson

  If a specific release date is not available (as I suspect it is not), can you provide resources for tracking how close it is to the desired feature set that allows release. I'm not necessarily asking for a percentage gauge, or X of Y features completed list. A list of bugs marked in whichever section of the perl RT instance that's tracking Rakudo bugs would meet my criteria, even more so if the list is dynamic (I.e. it's a list of bugs tagged in some manner, not a static list of ticket numbers). If there are only a few planned features left to be finished/tested before it's considered ready for final testing, listing those would also be sufficient.

• Is it worth learning Perl 6?

  - by Andres

  I have the opportunity to take a two day class on Perl 6 with the Rakudo Compiler. I don't want to start a religious war, but is it worth my time? Is there any reason to believe that Perl 6 will be practical in the real world within the next two years? Does anyone currently use it effectively? Update I took the class and learned a lot. However, after day 1, my mind was a bit overwhelmed. There are tons of cool ideas in perl 6, and it will be neat to see what filters up to other languages. Overall the experience was a positive use of my time, though I wasn't able to absorb as much on the second day. If it were a three day class it would have been unproductive just because there is a limit to how much you can process in a short amount of time.

• Does Ruby have an addon similar to Perl 6 grammars?

  - by dreftymac

  Perl has been one of my go-to programming language tools for years and years. Perl 6 grammars looks like a great language feature. I'd like to know if someone has started something like this for Ruby.

• What's the deal with all the different Perl 6 equality operators? (==, ===, eq, eqv, ~~, =:=, ...)

  - by raldi

  Perl 6 seems to have an explosion of equality operators. What is =:=? What's the difference between leg and cmp? Or eqv and ===? Does anyone have a good summary?

• Comment gérer les différentes versions de Perl (ActivePerl) ? Partagez vos retours d'expérience

  Bonjour, Je lance ce débat pour parler d'ActivePerl. En fait, il y a quelques années, il n' y avait que la version 5.8 (pour ne pas parler de la 5.6) qui évoluée régulièrement. Pendant ce temps, le développement de la 5.10 suivait son cours. Puis, nous nous sommes retrouvés avec 2 versions en évolutions. Il a fallu quelques mois pour espérer avoir nos sympathiques modules Perl du CPAN compatibles sur les deux versions. Maintenant la politique d'ActivePerl est de proposer une version stable chaque année. C'est intéressant car Perl est très maintenu et évolue bien, mais sincèrement, on se retrouve avec x versions de Perl et on s'y perd. Actuellement, il y a 4 versions d'ActivePerl 5.8, 5.10, 5.12 et 5.14, et je ne parle pas de Perl6, Parro...

• Unit Tests as a learning tool - a good idea?

  - by Ekkehard.Horner

  I'm interested in ways and means for learning (a) programming language(s) efficiently. I believe that using Unit Test concepts and infrastructure early in that process is a good thing, even better than starting with "Hello world". Why: To write a decent program even for a toy/restricted problem in a new language, you'll have to master many heterogenous concepts (control flow & variables & IO ...), you are tempted to glance over details just to get your program 'to work'. Putting (your understanding of) the facts about the new language in assertions with good descriptions (=success messages) enforces thinking thru/clearness/precision. Grouping topics and adding assertions to such groups is much easier than incorporation features from the 2. chapter of your "Learning X" book to your chapter 1 program. Why not: 'Real' Unit Tests are meant to output "1234 tests ok; 1 failure: saveWorld() chokes on negative input"; 'didactic' Unit Tests should output relevant facts about the new language like perl6 10-string.t # ### p5chop ... ok 13 - p5chop( "cbä" ) returns "ä" ok 14 - after that, victim is changed to "cb" # ### (p6) chop ... ok 27 - (p6) chop( "cbä" ) returns chopped copy: "cb" ok 18 - after that, victim is unchanged: "cbä" # ### chomp ... So (mis?)using Unit Tests may be counterproductive - practicing actions while learning you wouldn't use professionally. How: Writing 'didactic' Unit Tests in languages with lightweight testing systems (Perl 5/6) is easy; (mis?)using more elaborate systems (JUnit, CppUnit) may be not worth the effort or not suitable for a person just starting with a new language. So Is using Unit Tests as a learning tool a bad idea? Can the Unit Test tool(s) of your favourite language(s) used didactically? Should implementation details (eventually) be discussed here or over at stackoverflow.com?
