Re: perl6 with Rakudobrew

Did you ever tried to follow the steps of you script manually? I guess on a clean system without pre-installed rakudo you'd get the same result. Because `build` only builds a release. When it's ready one needs to `switch` to the built. So, no, these two are different. Best regards, Vadim Belma

Thank for the answers! Changing the owner of */usr/share/perl6/site/doc* to the user running zef allowed to install *p6doc*. We will be using these alternative websites meanwhile. Cheers! Missatge de Timo Paulssen del dia dg., 21 d’abr. 2019 a les 10:48: > Hi mimosinnet, > > we have a fallback

Re: perl6.org down and documentation

Hi mimosinnet, we have a fallback live on http://docs.perl6.wakelift.de/ for the docs and http://perl6.wakelift.de/ for the main website. There is an outage somewhere near the server that hosts all our sites. We'll be able to get physical access and fix whatever's wrong on tuesday. I'm not sure w

Re: perl6.org down and documentation

It's provisionally here: http://docs.perl6.wakelift.de/ But those errors have nothing to do with that, I think. It's a permission problem. Do you have permission to write in the directory it indicates? Cheers El dom., 21 abr. 2019 a las 10:28, mimosinnet () escribió: > Dear perl6 users, > > Per

Re: Perl6 use cases

Hi, whenever I want to have fun, and I need to parse a non-trivial file format, dealing with the output of special purpose software performing analysis on experimental data, I choose Perl 6 due to the fact that composability makes grammars very readable and logical-looking. On the other end, I sti

Re: Perl6 use cases

Hi, I have been using it for a couple of years and my main use case is heavy and complex syntactic analysis. In my experience no other language comes close for this kind of use. Perl6 takes some getting used to, but it is well-designed. Some aspects of the design are not yet part of the Raku

Re: Perl6 use cases

Hi, I use Perl 6 all the time, wherever I can. But for some things I do, I can't use Perl 6, for example Android apps, or embedded chip programming. I have used a number of languages, starting with Fortran and assembler, then Pascal, Snobol, C and recently Java and php. Perl 6 can be used f
