Perl 6 has silently reached its first production ready release on Christmas 2015, called v6c. It will be interesting to explore what this language can do, which features it offers and how it compares to existing relevant and interesting languages like Java, C, Ruby, Perl (5), Clojure, Scala, F#, C++, Python, PHP and others in different aspects. It looks like Perl 5 is there to stay and will be continued. Perl 6 should actually be considered to be a different programming language than Perl 5, so the name is somewhat misleading, because it suggests slightly more similarity than there really is. On the other hand, it was done by the same people, good ideas concepts from Perl 5 were retained and so it does look somewhat similar.
Today I will just provide some links

Maybe I will write more about this in the future…
