I agree, perl6 can be the glue language in academics which can be used to showcase different computing concepts, be it methodologies - functional, oops,procedural -, parallelism, VM, antlr etc. On Wed, Jan 20, 2016, 2:29 AM Peter Scott wrote: > I have seen Damian demonstrate how Perl 6 can be th

I have seen Damian demonstrate how Perl 6 can be the best language for teaching functional, procedural, and object-oriented programming. On 1/19/2016 10:37 AM, Darren Duncan wrote: I very much agree with this idea, of arguing Perl 6 as a teaching language. Academia are the ones that would appre

I very much agree with this idea, of arguing Perl 6 as a teaching language. Academia are the ones that would appreciate what Perl 6 offers the most in the short term, whereas industry would demand a higher standard for it becoming popular. And the first can lead to the second. -- Darren Duncan

I think targeting Perl 6 at CS academic teachers is an excellent idea as a way of generally promoting use of the language. But I'd be wary of "bashing" current choices such as Python and don't believe any objective comparison of the two languages is possible. Python is in any case derived from AB

Good idea. Not sure if it needs to compare with Python explicitly. The message is that it's a great language for learning programming on its own; the reader can see that from the positive examples given and make any comparisons to other languages while reading. No need to give space away to any oth

Perl 6 Advocacy Suggestion

2016-01-19 Thread Tom Browder
Last year I mentioned a letter-to-the-editor in Communications of the ACM which discussed the short-comings of Python as an introduction to programming for computer science students. As a response to that letter, I suggested that the dissatisfied professor consider Perl 6 as it would meet his requ
