From: "John van V." Date: 2001-02-10T03:00:19+09:00 Subject: [ruby-talk:10634] Re: Larry Wall INterview Hiya... I'm a big perl person and have been trying to organize in NY. http://puny.vm.com The perl mongers group has been incredibally weird, to say the least, and reports from everywhere else reflect intense concern about the future of perl. I truly love perl, but I need a break. I am very interested in developing the Perl6 documetation, bug tracking and QA systems, with an eye towards creating "emitters", html programming environments, and a host of commerical bases. The biggest hurdle is getting acceptance in the software industry. This has become impossible since the present "stable" is anything but and no Linux release will accept it. I need a break, so here I am. All I know about ruby is that I really like what I have seen. I have a large perl project to finish, which may take forever, but maybe ruby may be a better way to go. I'm also a big KSH person, I'm actually hoping for an OO rewrite and loadable modules. That would help in my industry greatly. ===== John van Vlaanderen ############################################# # CXN, Inc.
