Re: Production Ready Perl 6?

LOL, I will take that one. :) I looked at all of those. My company uses Ruby so that is what i am going to work with at this time. I was leaning towards scala as well but heard good things about closure and it may fit my needs since i am looking for something that uses the java vm. - On Nov

Re: Production Ready Perl 6?

Thank you Daniel, I got that same feeling as well. The question ends up being lost in argumentative responses or personal comments. And, it is a legitimate question which I now know that Perl6 may not be ready for some time and will probably look at other languages such as Ruby to fill the voi

Re: Production Ready Perl 6?

"Is Perl 6 production ready?" No. "Can I reasonably expect to use Perl 6 in a production environment?" No, except for some fairly trivial and meaningless definitions of "production environment". I am not aware of anyone in this list or on IRC #perl6 who has made any claim to the contrary. If

Re: Production Ready Perl 6?

I see things differently. I think that the question "is Perl 6 production ready?" is a meaningful and fairly important question. "Can I reasonably expect to use Perl 6 in a production environment?" The question has as much (or more) to do with implementations than the spec, but that doesn't m

Re: Production Ready Perl 6?

Well said. Also, the OP shouldn't confuse Perl 5 (the interpreter-defined language) with Perl 6 (a language definition for interpreters/compilers). The latter benefits from the fact that "Perl 5" is whatever "perl" says it is - for better or worse. So, asking if "Perl 6 is production ready" is l

Re: Production Ready Perl 6?

Yet again this thread starts up. Yet again it will end with no one changing their opinions, their expectations, or the time-span of their vision. Personally, I use perl6 in my professional analytical work. I can express solutions to problems elegantly and with a minimum of work. I am not en

Re: Production Ready Perl 6?

Thanks, so it isnt production ready like a release which would be an official release of a new version of perl 5? I have the feeling after well over 5 years this will never happened. I hope Perl 6 doesnt get seen as a novelty or toy and people simply never use it if this hasnt already happened.
