- 6. Why Perl 7?
- 7. Because we use Perl 5
- 8. Seriously, For the stranger, Perl ≡ Perl 5
- 9. and Perl 5 ≡ 1994 5.000 1994−Oct−17
- 10. or at its best, Perl 5 ≡ 2002 5.8.0 2002−Jul−18
- 11. almost never 5 = 5.10 5.10.0 2007−Dec−18
- 12. nobody cares 5 = 5.16 5.16.0 2012−May−20
- 13. 1994 . . . 2013 It is still Perl 5
- 14. 1994 . . . 2013 19 years!
- 15. 19 years! Perl is 25
- 16. What a newcomer will think?
- 17. What a newcomer will think?
- 18. Will a newcomer choose Perl?
- 19. Will a newcomer choose Perl?
- 21. What to do?
- 22. 1) Nothing
- 23. 1) Nothing 2) Rename Perl
- 24. 1) Nothing 2) Rename Perl 3) Change version
- 25. Doing nothing is not an option
- 26. Doing nothing is not an option If you love Perl, if you want it the best, if you see it in the future, if you want it last longer, if you want it develop, if you want new users, etc., etc.
- 27. Renaming Perl equals rejecting Perl
- 28. Camel Perl
- 29. Pumpkings’ Perl
- 30. Changing Perl version . . .
- 32. Perl5 (no space)
- 33. Perl 7
- 34. Perl II
- 35. Perl 10
- 36. Perl 20
- 37. Perl 2013
- 38. No doubt that the new major version will be noticed from outside
- 39. No doubt that the new major version will be noticed from outside immediately!
- 41. perl8.org, 2013
- 47. Still depends on the conference’s budget
- 48. The biggest problem facing Perl is the lack of a single clear vision for where Perl is going, and a strategy for getting there. And there's no-one (wanting) to provide these things. And the lack of this prompts some people to pitch their vision and strategy (which is where I think Moe is coming from). I briefly hoped that one of the outputs of the perl reunification summit was going to be such a vision, but if it was I didn't see it. I'd prefer a single unified vision, as I think the greatest success for Perl lies that way. Neil Bowers
- 49. Perl 6 is the next Perl 5 2000
- 50. Perl 6 is a different language ~2010
- 51. 5 → 6
- 52. 5 → 6 → 7
- 53. 5 → 6 → 7
- 54. 5 → 6 → 7 ?
- 55. How would Perl 6 developers react?
- 56. How would it change Google results?
- 61. However, I think this is all somewhat beside the point. Perl 6 is designed to fix the problems pointed out by the 361 RFCs, and Perl 5, by whatever name, needs to address at least a subset of the same problems, and that is not likely to be easy to get consensus on. Also, I suspect that as soon as Perl 6 achieves speed parity and interoperability with Perl 5, there will be less grumbling all around, since a part of that is driven by a perception of the failure of Perl 6. But when Perl 6 actually does become a better Perl 5, people won't fight it quite so much. That's how it looks from this end, anyway... :) Larry Wall
- 62. Apocalypse 1 I was initially inclined to accept this RFC, but decided to reject it on theological grounds. In apocalyptic literature, 7 is the number representing perfection, while 6 is the number representing imperfection. In fact, we probably wouldn't end up converging on a version number of 2*PI as the RFC suggests, but rather on 6.6.6, which would be rather unfortunate. So Perl 7 will be the last major revision. In fact, Perl 7 will be so perfect, it will need no revision at all. Perl 6 is merely the prototype for Perl 7. :-)
