You don't want to know these feels.

I know...

Also, you should write a quick perl script to escape quotes in greentext, instead of using bad typographic hacks.

Dawwww, don't make me sad.
Perl was a good language.

I wonder why that "get-shit-done culture" was unable to get perl6 done, why you personally didn't get perl6 done? Weird, huh?

Yeah, I don't want to know the feel when you realise that you and your culture isn't worth shit, despite all the boasting. Should be pretty depressing, in your place I might even kill myself.

Perl isn't dead, it's complete.  Just keep using it like any sane programmer.

Because Perl6 is insane and pointless.  I consider it an art project examining the foolishness of modern qq{language design}.  By contrasting Perl6 with Perl, we are meant to rediscover the true path.

I know these feels, OP. Good times.

Fuck it, I'm going to think something to program in perl to revive these feels.

Perl6 is doing fine.

10 years and a shitty half assed implementation is ``fine``?

I once used my gf's mother's pearl necklace as anal beads.

Yes. I use it for scripting at work and outside work too. It's very fun. I think it's totally possible today to write, lets say, a chan in it.

also is more than 10 years
