A little OT, sorry for any inconvenience.

And would you care to explain the difference between a "language" and a "tool language"? I see a programming language as a tool to build programs with,

What is a tool language? I think it should be meet below three demands(suggestions are welcome ;)):

Tool language is for system admin, DBA, or such else. Because they are a special part in IT circle. they maintain a system or a program which they don't know deeply. They are not programmer; They won't be interested in inherit, delegation or something else; all they concern are whether is a easy-used hammer to mend the system fast. That is why they like perl5,awk but not java, C++. Okay, as I mentioned before, perl6 OO is great, but it, I mean OO, is meaningless to the script less than 300 lines.

Again, I don't say perl6 is not good, I just say perl6 is too like a regular language or say language for teaching. I hope to see perl6 can provide a way to those people are not received formal programming training.



I am trying to improve my English skills, if you see a mistake please feel free to reply or /msg me a correction
