You can write a replacement for gulp in Perl 6, but if it doesn&#x27;t have the plugins, who will use it?<p>Grunt and gulp have huge plugin ecosystems, which is both a blessing (you can find ready-made plugins for a lot of tasks) and a curse (everything moves very rapidly, plugins get abandoned, blacklisted and superseded all the time - if you want to compile TypeScript files, half the blogposts will recommend gulp-tsc .. but wait, it&#x27;s been blacklisted, you should use gulp-typescript instead ).<p>Grunt: ~5400 plugins: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gruntjs.com&#x2F;plugins" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gruntjs.com&#x2F;plugins</a><p>Gulp: ~2000 plugins: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gulpjs.com&#x2F;plugins&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gulpjs.com&#x2F;plugins&#x2F;</a><p>Gulp&#x27;s list of blacklisted plugins: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;gulpjs&#x2F;plugins&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;src&#x2F;blackList.json" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;gulpjs&#x2F;plugins&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;src&#x2F;blackList....</a>
