Perl 6, Early, With Rakudo Star

[sl4shd0t]

Perl 6 may have been "finally coming within reach" in 2004, but now it's even closer. Reader rnddim writes "The Perl 6 implementation Rakudo Star has been released today for 'early adopters.' This release of Rakudo is different from the normal monthly compiler releases in that it is bundled with a draft of a Perl 6 book, and several modules. It's not complete, and it's not as fast as it should be, but Rakudo in its current state is proving to be usable and useful. Rakudo Star releases will come monthly or as major features or bugfixes are made. It is available for download at github.com."pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F10%2F07%2F29%2F2046242%2FPerl-6-Early-With-Rakudo-Star" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Perl+6%2C+Early%2C+With+Rakudo+Star%3A +http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FapLQeT" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://developers.slashdot.org/story/10/07/29/2046242/Perl-6-Early-With-Rakudo-Star?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/nm_X7Uml4jLVj-xaMalxY8e7JQo/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/nm_X7Uml4jLVj-xaMalxY8e7JQo/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/nm_X7Uml4jLVj-xaMalxY8e7JQo/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/nm_X7Uml4jLVj-xaMalxY8e7JQo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotDevelopers/~4/9uSnjMVmcC8" height="1" width="1"/
