I'm sorry but Perl 6 isnt relevant IMO. It took too long. I was a Perl developer at etoys.com in 2000 and BBC in 2001. I wrote OneMusic for Radio1 and even convinced the BBCs uptight ops team to run it with modperl so it could handle the high traffic it did. I also created the job search engine WorkZoo in modperl, one of Time Magazines top 50 sites of 2005 and Indeed's main competitor at the time.
Perl6 was promised. Then it never happened. It's now an almost quarter century later. The world has moved on. Taking that long for a single version update in a language is not reasonable. I loved Perl. I still love Perl5. But I've moved on and have 100% blocked Perl6 from my psyche and list of expectations. No one I know uses it. I am not excited by it. I dont need it. And I don't care to hear these discussions about minutia related to it. It's a debacle and a case study in the failure of what was a beautifully ugly practical performant language.
