thanks, everyone. wikipedia is indeed a first goto source for me before I investigate anything further.

I played with mojo 3 years ago and thought it was very clever. too clever for my needs. sometimes simple is good.

the "many choices" is not always the best. I think this is why php survived. there was no one single perly choice with good prospects. (there are many abandoned projects; building a website requires betting on the underlying framework.) of course, at some point below, variety must stop. perl would not have succeeded with 20 projects. there is one perl5 project and one perl6 project.

so, if I start now, let's say I want a php-like embeddable scripting language that has:

a project with more than 5 core developers and likely survival for a decade.
perl6 syntax and perl6 cpan
$_SESSIONS[]
easy ubuntu install

is there a project that checks these four boxes? mojo? /iaw

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
