Larry gently explaining some of the differences between Perl and Raku one-liners.

From July, 2020.

Too good to languish in the NNTP Archives!

If someone wanted to write such an article, we could fit it in probably.

Well, @timtoady wrote the text, so he would need to approve publication.

Regardless, I can edit something together for @timtoady 's approval.

Any progress on this?

I just threw the text into a gist, and sent you a link via email.

Probably need @TimToady and @nelhage to sign off on using their text. Really it's a "conversation" between those two programmers. (I got the ball rolling by asking a question on the Perl6-Users mailing list, but my contribution has been minimal thus far).

Let me know if you want me to move that gist elsewhere, or what to do with it. Thanks.

Please keep the conversation here so everyone involved can see it. My inbox isn't a good place for me to remember to do something. :)

Also, we don't want to simply republish a mail message. We'd need to add value somehow. Extracting Larry's ideas and commenting on or expanding them would be a good start.

The best thing to do is create a new article and send a pull request.

Got it. I forked the perldotcom repo and am reading through @dnmfarrell 's article(s) on how to contribute.
