in thread Perl 6 Fundamentals

PBP is a rather strange case. Just like his OO book. I highly recommend it without necessarily endorsing all of the conclusions. He is extremely good at writing about thinking and even where I disagree I learned there were more things to consider than I had realized. And the OO book was a revelation for me and not specifically due to the subject matter.

    Before someone gets me wrong I recommend PBP highly, it's actually my number one recommendation.

    The problem are readers looking for a holy book with commandments they can fanatically follow.
