Re^2: Weekly changes in and around Perl 6

Wowowow! You helped me realize that all of my criticisms of perl-6 were trolling behavior cos my parents never loved me as a child. You have brought enlightenment to me. I am going to deploy a program written in the production-ready Rakudo Star this afternoon after my tears of joy dry.

Or not, cos it's still the IT equivalent of Intelligent Design where if people only BELIEVED hard enough then it would work out.

Ah, so there was an ad hominem in my reply. I’m sure your parents loved you just fine. An older brother might have helped though. Perl6 news is relevant to the site, it’s interesting to many of us and ignorable by the rest, and quitting or remaining silent just because anonymous gainsayers pile-on… would be silly. I personally don't care if perl6 is delivered/done—frankly, it intimidates me as it’s designed for hackers who have harder CS/math skills than I do—so it’s not a matter of belief but simple courtesy. The relentless and redundant attacks on the most trivial updates is just stupid and I thought I'd proactively shut one of these threads down for once. Backfire away if compelled. I raise your Intelligent Design analogy by labeling you the hacker equivalent of a slut shamer. How many compilers one writes or how many times one starts over on a spec isn’t a good reason to judge something bad.	[reply]

I'm judging their inability to finish things. The spec may or may not be bad but until Rakudo stops rewriting everything from scratch and produces something the average punter is actually willing to use no one can truly judge if the spec is good, bad or indifferent.	[reply]
