Never stopped liking it, but at some point I got tired of waiting for v6 and moved on to Ruby (mostly because of Rails) and some FP.
v6 would fix everything that I find irksome on v5.
- gamache 17y agoI hear you. I stopped waiting for Perl 6 a long time ago; that has freed me to enjoy Perl 5 more fully. Most of the stuff I do these days is Perl with the Catalyst web and DBIx::Class database frameworks, but I like Rails a lot too and I use it when it's a good fit. I like the Ruby language a lot; the whole method_missing system beats AUTOLOAD hacks and I like Ruby's standard classes and core libraries. The Smalltalk influence is nice too; I like when an "OO language" feels object-oriented all the way down.
