I agree that the "incorrect statement" was factually incorrect. However, it
was widely perceived to be correct. That perception did hurt perl (both 5
and 6).
It made many people see perl as "dead" while perl 6 was under development.

Dropbox on Windows is a real directory. It is just monitored by the
Dropbox software and files (or possibly pieces - not sure) are uploaded and
downloaded when necessary to keep them in sync with the server.

I see in the release notes for Rakudo 2017.04, it basically says not to use
JVM backend. Why is this? Has support for the JVM been dropped? I hope
not as it seems like the most valuable platform for Perl6.
For instance, you could use Perl6 JVM on AWS and get support but Perl6
MoarVM would not b
In this instance, it is the same as "$true_count = $true_count + 1".
++$var and $var++ differ if they are used in an assignment or other
operation.
For instance:
my $x = 1;
my $y = ++$x; # $x is incremented before assignment
my $z = $x++; # $x is incremented after assignment
At the end, $x = 3
Interesting but not something I've ever worried about. Personally, I just
use [g]vim on all platforms but it definitely does NOT support secondary
selection.

gvim is (sort of) a GUI editor. I just checked and it can support gtk2
(--enable_gui=gtk2 when compiling) so it might actually work for your
secondary selection.

Did you compile it from scratch or verify that yours is compiled using
gtk2? It can be compiled with several different gui toolkits.

If you do :version within gvim, does it say it was compiled with gtk2?

Huh. If GTK2 supports secondary selection, I would have expected gvim
compiled with it to support it.

I don't see anything in the notes (though I may have missed it) about JVM.
I thought the plan was to get JVM functional again (though likely still
lagging MoarVM feature support) with the 2017.07 release?
Perl 6 on MoarVM is definitely interesting but, to me at least, the single
biggest practical
Why the change in die handling between Perl 5 and 6? Suppressing line
numbers with newline was very handy. Alternatively, adding some sort of
directive would be more straight-forward (at least for Perl 5 users moving
to Perl 6).
