/Perl \s+ 6 .* sucks/
Booo. Didn't do what I wanted. Perl 6 sucks.
'cause then they have all sorts of issues and all of a sudden they think Perl 6 sucks when in reality they, for example, forgot to run rakudobrew rehash or something similar
wow, no one frothing from the mouth telling everyone how much Perl 6 sucks?
seatek Yeah, I find that they are nice. But there is a time for peace and a time for war. I am more on the latter end. ;-) The thing is, there is a time to say that "That sucks!" and I can never trust these people to say it so directly. Now, Perl 6 rocks to high heaven, because a man who was called to do languages for God (he was going to be a Bible translator) worked on it as his life's work. Py3 sucks, because they did not understand that this matte
psch: isn't that how many folks that say Perl 6 sucks operate? They judge it based on some mailsender script they say in the '90s
And the reason for his storming out is [Coke] basically saying "then why are you here?" after he was going on and on about why Perl 6 sucks: http://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2016-01-08#i_11853185
.oO( "Perl 6 sucks! I always have to declare which version of the language I'm using!" )
mspo, in that case I think you mean Perl 6 sucks
I can't wait until later when the NY.pm meeting happens and people can tell me how much Perl 6 sucks. THAT'LL be fun.
rindolf: agreed -- where Perl in general sucks at marketing, Perl 6 double-sucks at marketing.
And using Perl 6 for things that Java sucks at like writing parsers.
having to recompile the Perl 6 setting after every change to the Perl6 grammar sucks :(
was nice to see people discussion the issue rather then ' Perl 6 sucks!'
rakudo: multi infix:<->(Str $a, Str $b) { $a.subst($b, "") }; say "Perl 6 sucks rocks" - "sucks "
ingy: I know! Perl 6 <del>sucks</del> rocks!
star: say 'Perl 6 sucks rocks' - 'sucks '
We all know Perl 6 performance sucks
oh, by the way. I was talking to a fellow Perlist some time ago, I told him about rakudo and Perl 6, and his was curious about GC. He said GC in Perl 5 sucks, for circular references will never be freed, and he was curious how it looks in Perl 6. I guess that's not really an issue as everything is a reference, but how does it look like now?
the chief scalability techie guy of flickr also mentioned Perl 6 in a talk (rant why django sucks at some django conference :)
Teratogen: Perl 6 was released years ago, it's actually a pretty good language now. The library situation sucks, but you can help fix that!
Some of it may be re-write because the previous impl was either (a) in PIR not Perl 6 or (b) sucks. :-)
it 'rules' because Perl 6 is so awesome. it 'sucks' because there are still some significant bugs/pieces missing
Perl 6, the language that sucks by default
mostly I tend to hear "Perl 6 rocks!" or "Perl 6 sucks!" and never do I hear/see "Perl 6 sounds interesting ... when will it be read"
