Because of the quantum operator support, raku both is and is not perl6 at all times

Am I wrong to be getting the same feelings about this as I did for Perl6/Rakudo?

It's such a shame because Rakudo/Perl6 looks so cool and expressive.
I've glued together so many disparate systems with Perl. Big LDAP directories with hundreds of thousands of users dumping data into new places, migrating users, etc etc. It's been a great toolkit for me.

Sweet Christ on a crutch, the wikipedia page for Perl6 reads like PKD technochristian fan fiction.

the thing about trying to find raku/perl6 content is that theres barely any. but look at this camelia in what seems to be a round globe. a bug in a ball.

maybe writing a new shell is my way of convincing myself it was good for me to read all those perl6 docs and discussions back in the day. still kinda tempted to drop some quarters into a perl6 runtime someday but I am too deep into kaish for now. it can do too many things other shells can't

Less seriously, convert your entire codebase to Perl6/rakudo and take advantage of annoying your colleagues with Unicode variable names

The first release of Perl was in Dec 1987 and the first release of Python was in Feb 1991, ie only ~3 years later. Weird how Perl was able to capture the mindshare initially and then lose it almost completely around the time of Perl6.

In raku/perl6 the devs took regexes even forther and built an entire grammar parsing subsystem. So much care went into making the language easy to read, write, and extend.
And with a rather political purpose! One of the core devs is Audrey Tang, a hacker worth reading about.
