A Perl 6 status updateA Perl 6 status updatePosted Jan 3, 2008 20:36 UTC (Thu) by chromatic (guest, #26207)In reply to: A Perl 6 status update by rsidd Parent article: A Perl 6 status update
As a previous poster said, Ruby is a good Perl6. Anyone who says that in seriousness knows very little about either Ruby or Perl 6. Ruby has some nice features, but it has some serious shortcomings (as does Perl 5). Perl 6 corrects those.

A Perl 6 status update Posted Jan 5, 2008 9:18 UTC (Sat) by njs (subscriber, #40338) [Link] As phrased, you seem to be asserting that (a) Perl5 has shortcomings, (b) Ruby has shortcomings, (c) Perl6 has no shortcomings. I hope that isn't what you mean, but you see how it makes people suspicious of Perl6 when its proponents seem to be advertising it that way...

I think what he meant was "(c) Perl6 has /other/ shortcomings, but not the same ones"
A Perl 6 status update Posted Jan 7, 2008 5:17 UTC (Mon) by chromatic (guest, #26207) [Link] Perl 6 may have shortcomings. We won't know what they are until people start using it as much as they use Perl 5. We hope we've designed out most of them. We've certainly tried to design away the keenest problems of Perl 5, Ruby, C++, and Java.
