After 15 years of development, perl 6 will be officially launched as production ready software in 2015.

Who knows, 2015 may also be the year of the linux desktop, unless HURD is also ready for prime time.

    Perl 6 relies on Haskell no?
    Why not just learn Haskell?

    It seems to be influenced by Javascript, so no I won't use the same logic.

    No. One of the implementations of Perl 6 is written in Haskell, just like Perl 5 is written in C. That's the only relation between Perl 6 and Haskell.

    haskell is written in C. Why not just learn C? The first C compiler was in PDP assembler. Why not just learn PDP assembler? Fuck it, why not just use punch cards? Why not just use 8 toggles on the front of the computer to enter octal values?
