P6 is flexible enough that I'm sure you can port TensorFlow using nativeCall within a month. Perl as a whole has a terrible image problem. People think it's just awk with more punctuation variables. Literally, to most people Perl is regexes. In my opinion, what we need is a tutorial website that ranks high on search engines for searches not about Perl, so that people will realize that Perl is very readable and very useful. But I digress. Though I do use perl every day but just found this interesting article from Hacknews about python you may just give a try reading. http://cloudcache.net/PythonCoverStoryNJH_FINAL.pdf regards, Eliza

Python can handle primitive types much better than ruby/perl can at the moment. And has much less of an overhead, compared to ruby where almost everything is a FixNum etc (perl is even worse on types), where Python can see the actual integer or float and calculations can run at close to C++ speeds.

perl6's new name?
Hello perl6 world, I saw the perl6 github issue, just was confused will perl6 change its name? Perl 6 was initially conceived to be the next version of Perl 5. It took way too long to mature to an initial release. Meanwhile, people interested in taking Perl 5 along, took back the reigns and continued developing Perl 5. Having two programming languages that are sufficiently different to not be source compatible, but only differ in what many perceive to be a version number, is hurting the image of both Perl 5 and Perl 6 in the world. Since the word "Perl" is still perceived as "Perl 5" in the world, it only seems fair that "Perl 6" changes its name. Since Larry has indicated, in his video message to the participants of PerlCon 2019 in Riga, that the two sister languages are now old and wise enough to take care of themselves, such a name change would no longer require the approval of the BDFL. I would therefore propose to change the name to "the Camelia Programming Language" or "Camelia" for short, for several reasons: the search term "camelia programming language" already brings you to the right place. This means that changing the name to "Camelia" will have minimal impact on findability on search engines such as Google and DuckDuckGo. the logo / mascot would not need changing: it's just that it now also becomes the actual name of the programming language. "Camelia" in its name, still carries something Perlish inside of it. The concept of "Camelia" being an implementation of a specification in "roast", still stands. The alternative, to use "Rakudo" as the name of the language, would cause confusion with the name being used to indicate an implementation, and would endanger the separation between specification and implementation. Choosing yet another name, such as Albus, would mean having to start from scratch with marketing and getting the name out there. Hence my preference for a known name such as "Camelia". The "Camelia" logo is still copyright Larry Wall, so it would allow Larry to still be connected to one of the programming languages that he helped get into the world. https://github.com/perl6/problem-solving/issues/81 regards, Eliza
