Re: Perl 6 in non-English languages

Another thing to consider is that Perl 6 is symbol-heavy: that is, keywords are often symbols (such as &&, <=>, or $_) rather than words. AFAIK, those symbols are not English, and I would not expect them to change under a natural language transformation of the setting. And to elaborate on Aaron's

Re: Perl 6 in non-English languages

I should point out that I've had a great deal of coffee. The technical details of what I've said are reasonable, but read the rest as off-the-cuff opinion. It's also true that seeing how Perl 6 would look/work when re-cast in the grammatical conventions of another human language would be very cool

Re: Perl 6 in non-English languages

If Perl 5 can support Lingua::Romana::Perligataand let you type " benedictum factori sic mori cis classum. instead of bless sub{die}, $class; then Perl 6 should be able to do it even better. I think it would be implemented thro

very basic type checking

Hello. I asked the same question to #perl6. But now I think it was a wrong place. My question is: In current Rakudo, my Int $i = '123'; causes a runtime error, not a compile time error. How about in future Perl 6? -- Hiroki Horiuchi

Hi, This is an idea that originated in #perl6 during a discussion with slavik ( http://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2010-01-17#i_1907093). The goal is to allow Perl 6 source code to be written in natural languages other than English. The motivation would be to make programming accessible to a lot of p
