Myths about Perl 6
As I grow older, I end up preferring “boring” languages.<p>They have predictability, discoverability, learnability. And all within the limits of a person’s life.<p>A code by programmer A that does X is not significantly different than code that does the same X by programmer B. Even if that programmer is myself 6 months or 10 years apart.<p>An algorithm X will loom like X in the standard library, in a third-party library, or in a random snippet from stack overflow.<p>A mismatched or ommitted character willnot (usually) alter the bahaviour of a program in orthogonal ways.<p>You will not need a magnifying glass to read a mish-mash of ASCII math symbols to figure out whether someone built a death ray, or just a milk shaker.
