I'm about to watch this great #perl6 talk again to remind myself of the difference between #concurrency and #paralellism. #programming
Nice!
Someone has begun an #HPMOR comic! 😄
Who would have known that a JKR-free #rational fan fiction of #HarryPotter (love the work, don't care for the author) would be awesome enough to be made into both audiobooks, podcasts and a cartoon?
I'm really happy more are exposed to this work. It's _really_ good! 😄
(Triva: I learned of it in the #rakulang IRC channel, back when it was called #perl6 <3)
Recommended!
If you like the first chapters, you'll like it all!
#Perl: older than some #programming careers, younger at heart than you think.
It’s evolved a lot since 1999 — modern features, cleaner syntax — yet it still runs code you wrote decades ago.
(And if you’re wondering: #Perl6 was renamed Raku in 2019 — it’s a sister language, not a successor.)
Curious? Returning after a long break? @shiar’s cheat sheet is a perfect quick‑scan: https://sheet.shiar.nl/perl

I bought two Raku/Perl 6 books for an unknown reason and had to carry them with me all day. They were very cheap, but I doubt that I’ll ever read them.
@ChristosArgyrop @oalders It’s a tricky path. #Perl has never been defined by anything other than its implementation. There is no language spec, and no one claims its packaged test suite as a comprehensive means of certification. (Sorry #VelociPerl.)
That’s one of the issues #RakuLang (née #Perl6) sought to address, but it did so by specifying and producing test conformance for a different language.
@profoundlynerdy I don’t know why JPL / #Java #Perl Lingo fizzled. Presumably Larry shifted focus to #RakuLang (née #Perl6) in Y2K and @OReillyMedia didn’t find anyone to take up spearheading it.

"'The grand rewrite that was #Perl6 (now #RakuLang) was a decade-plus slow suicide attempt by the Perl community."
Eh? If you mean that the Perl community should have (way back then) helped make Perl 6 (now Raku) a success, and help to make all Perl code run in Raku, so that Perl would no longer be necessary, indeed.
But that did not happen. And now Raku is getting better and more modern. And Perl, well, it's Perl, and Perl is beautiful. But I like Raku better.
