Title: What Stops Me From Using Perl6 Today Author: Chris Prather Date: 2009-11-16 14:12

What Stops Me From Using Perl6 Today

I have to confess mst asked me to step forward and make a comment about the [Perl5][mst] & [Perl6][masak]. I suspect because I'm a prime example of a person who's deeply involved in what masak calls the Perl5 story. This is because I've been bound up tightly with the Moose community for a while, and I've recently founded a [company][tamarou] that is doing Modern Enlightened Perl development. My bread is buttered by Perl5.

Recently because of mst and masak sparking a conversation I have started taking a really close look at Perl6. One of the things that struck me was how polished and complete the core Perl6 language was, and the Rakudo implementation.
