What is Perl 6?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the it-all-started-with-a-camel dept.

chromatic writes "Perl.com has a new article entitled What is Perl 6?. It analyzes the changes to the language in light of the good and bad points of Perl 5 and provides new information about the current state of the project: Perl 6 exists, you can write code in it today, and it's more consistent and easier to use than Perl 5."

    I really find it funny that even I have better karma on slashdot than chromatic, with a 4 digit user ID.

    It doesn't say anything about me. :-)

    Maybe it says something about /., since he both posted the story -- and wrote the article it comments on. And what I comments on is both true and informative (-: I don't care for the dig at lisp :-).
