I fear that, at age 70, I shall not live long enough to become efficient with perl 6.
Two full years ago I purchased and read "Perl 6 Essentials". That lead me to this list which I have enjoyed but never felt competent to contribute much. Pretty much all of what I leaned in Essentials has been mucked with, or so it seems. I fear that Parrot will not come into widespread use until perl 6 is released. As a rocket scientist, who started before the first FORTRAN compiler was released, I like assembly language and the portability of the Parrot interpreter appeals to me. But perl magic cookies in an assembler? Will it ever fit into a 68HC11? Can it attract the attention of hardware manufacturers? -- --> Halloween == Oct 31 == Dec 25 == Christmas <--
