"Perl 6" is now called Raku and is not compatible with Perl 5. Regarding "the community" making something - I recall a similar request (or was it a demand?) on a Perl facebook group that we must have a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_open_online_course (MOOC) for Perl. As usual with FOSS, time consuming suggestions can be materialised either by investing time, or by motivating contributors using money. Otherwise, they often don't get materialised. > We can't lose the capability in big data, cloud computing, AI, ML, > streaming, these are the main features of current internet. From what I know, not everyone is doing AI (which I was told requires a relevant M.Sc and has a high barrier to entry) and "machine learning" is not the only approach to AI: https://fc-solve.shlomifish.org/faq.html#machine_learning > Everyone today writes CGI with perl? NO. > Not everyone today writes CGI scripts, or uses Perl for them, but some people still do. These include me because I prefer to use shared web hosting, where, for server side scripting, I can use either PHP (which I dislike, see: https://www.shlomifish.org/open-source/anti/php/ ) or CGI scripts (in Perl or Python or similar). So I still use two such scripts in Perl and one which I translated from Perl to Python (not because I was unhappy with the Perl code, but because I've been trying to learn Python better) along with many generated static pages and assets here: * https://www.shlomifish.org/meta/site-source/ I was once told that generated static HTML should be avoided because PHP is the present and the future, but it seems they were proven wrong too: * https://github.com/shlomif/shlomif-tech-diary/blob/master/static-site-generators--despair.md I'm not saying server-side-scripting is not useful, but generated static sites are still of utility as well. > Thanks. -- Shlomi Fish https://www.shlomifish.org/ My Photos - https://www.flickr.com/photos/shlomif/ “Stop reinventing wheels, start building space rockets.” — The motto of the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network Please reply to list if it's a mailing list post - https://shlom.in/reply .
