I was wondering if there is (or there should be) a documentation on how to elegantly write Perl6 code.
yes, there should be.
I am afraid that when I will be starting to write Perl6 code, it will be too much Perl5-ish, and I will end up rewriting my code in every 3 months because I hate when my code is not elegant (at least to my own standards).
i think that's a problem you'll share with many other folks, as *very few* have written anything of substance in perl 6 so far... and the design is still changing.
I was wondering that some - maybe @Larry - already have (mosf ot) Perl6 in their heads, so they could create such a document/recommendation before Perl6 gets used widely, and the coding style gets "distorted".
i think larry's pretty busy doing what he should be doing at this point... designing.
Or shall we just leave this to the community? Maybe this documentation shouldn't/can't be written yet? Shall we let Perl6-style grow from usage in 1-2 years, and create a guide like this then, when things mature?
don't "just leave this to the community." take part! take advantage of the perl 6 wiki (http://rakudo.org/perl6/index.cgi) and create a page describing the task. write some code yourself. ask folks to contribute, and fix the existing code or add their own. create an outline of what you'd like to see there... and have fun! be the community. ~jerry
