The "everything is a string" mantra Will be back!?! The Millenial programmer will try to comment out a line of code while the TCL interpreter Will insists that is a validade code...
Come on guys, let some technologies dies peacefully, Ok? We don't want those days back :)
Yes, this is exactly the issue. Porting to Python 3 was never an issue itself, but keep your code compatible with Python 2 (while introduce 3) is a nightmare :P
My only one problem about P6 is the fact they dropped the effort of having the specification so others can implement the language too. Looks like they prefer a conformance test instead of a formal/complete specification.
While that is perfect fine, I would say having both the test and the spec is even better, for those trying to learn and implement the language.
A good, formal and complete specification will make my learning process much better, IMHO.
