Can somebody speak about his/her experience on switching from Perl 5 to Perl 6? For what use cases would learning Perl 6 make sense if you never worked with Perl 5.
Seems that "Perl 6 from scratch might be [1], or [2] if you need "a lightweight Perl 6-like environment for virtual machines".
As I already googled it, [3] is the (last ?) HN "Why hasn't Perl 6 taken off yet?" article since 118 days. Did something change since?
Seems you have mistaken MyDef to this. MyDef is a meta-layer. It simply lets you customize your syntax and add meta-constructs, but you are still writing Perl, C, or whatever language you are actually writing. This project is a complete -- eventually anyway -- Perl compiler/interpreter (Perl5 replacement) in C. The goal of this project is to free Perl to the status of programming language (rather than tied to a compiler). Also, I want to demonstrate my idea of readable coding.
I am sure you can use MyDef to write perl6 or any text based language already. MyDef does not output binary, or translate from one language to another.
I am wondering about the adoption of Perl 6.
