Should be: Goodnight, Perl 6.Should be: Goodnight, Perl 6.Posted Feb 13, 2013 18:14 UTC (Wed) by dskoll (subscriber, #1630)In reply to: Should be: Goodnight, Perl 6. by raiph Parent article: Chromatic: Goodnight, Parrot
I won't post a long quote from here, but in essence it says: The "commonly used Perl language" is also known as Perl 5. "Perl 6 is different from Perl 5" Which as a programmer, I read as Perl == Perl5 && Perl6 != Perl5 which implies Perl6 != Perl. But maybe I'm being a bit pedantic. :)

I have read the entire "What about Perl 6?" page and agree with all of it.
> The "commonly used Perl language" is also known as Perl 5.
You missed out "commonly used". If you will it's CU Perl == Perl5 && Perl6 != Perl5 which implies Perl6 != CU Perl, which is true enough.
Perl6 is Perl, but it's not "the commonly used Perl".

Perhaps not pedantic enough. :)

Posted Feb 13, 2013 19:30 UTC (Wed) by dskoll (subscriber, #1630) [Link] :) It depends on whether you interpret "the commonly-used Perl language" as "The Perl language, which is commonly used, ..." or "The commonly-used Perl language (as opposed to some not-commonly-used language also known as Perl)" I think we can agree we are splitting hairs here, just as Perl 6 is splitting heirs wrt the Perl branding.
