First Perl 6 Book is Out

prostoalex writes "O'Reilly Publishing presented Perl 6 Essentials, the first book to be dedicated to Perl 6, at the beginning of this month. Looking at the table of contents, it hardly looks like a valid replacement for Llama or Camel books. Chapter 1 is available online. The whole book is available to Safari subscribers." I'm sure we'll review it sooner or later.

    You are disgusting little idiots. Your stupid remarks about celebreties are just plain ugly. When you bring this to the realm of people in our own community you move to the level of maggots.

    Go ahead and mod me down for flaming, I'll gladly take the hit.

    It seems that PHP is moving in the same general direction in that it is now usable as a commandline tool and is adding many unneeded features, but at least the syntax is cleaner.
