@AFresh1 @leonerd @Perl
I encourage anyone finding *any* merit in the proposal to build something in RPerl to “try it out”. They will find it’s vaporware considering it’s supposed to be “the Perl compiler” and it won’t compile basically any module on CPAN.

I wish stuff like this supposed type system didn’t suck up time from the Perl community. The community needs to quit treating ego-boosting vaporware as legitimate projects.

@joelle @Perl @AFresh1 @leonerd #RPerl and various other qr/perl/i efforts are inevitably driven by self-aggrandizing lone devs (plus entourage) with BDFL designs on the One True #Perl that only runs the subset they care about.

They either forgot or never learned the @ietf motto: “We believe in rough consensus and running code.”

@mjgardner @Perl I don't think it's fair to compare Raku to other forks/reimplementations of Perl.

I do think mistakes (big ones) were made with Raku, but I also think it's not comparable in the least with RPerl -- "hello world" is pretty simple to do in Raku, after all, and I use Raku code frequently every day.
