Perl 6
Rakudo Star: Revision 7
Rakudo * aka Rakudo star aka Rakudo Whatever is pivotal release of Rakudo, that is planned for April 2010. Its primary purpose is to be a robust demonstration of how much Perl 6 can be used today. It is hoped that a lot of feedback will come from that, which will improve the implementation and the language. In addition, it is hoped it will attract new developers. The star is a hint toward the Perl 6 operator called whatever (see WITCH star), meaning this release is not optimized for completness, but for stability. To almost quote Patrick Michaud, who came up with this idea at YAPC::EU in Lissabon: "whatever will be there in spring 2010, will be released". |
