I don't really have a dog in this fight; it just > saddens me to see Perl6 being dismissed for social rather than > technical reasons. Things are frequently dismissed for social over technical reasons. Lisp, for example, is something I dismissed not for technical reasons (I think the language is seriously one of the best ever made) but for social reasons. I find the community around Lisp to be one of the least approachable and least friendly I've ever encountered. This is also one of the reasons I switched from the Python world to the Ruby world. The Python community was getting pretty damned hostile toward the end of my stay there (and not toward me, but rather toward the absolutely vital new blood that's needed for any community to stay alive) while the Ruby community was, at the time, the friendliest I'd seen in years. (This is changing slowly, but for now it's still more than adequately friendly.) This sounds irrational, but bear with me a moment. No technology is so good that it can be instantly comprehended and put to its best use. There's always a learning curve associated with a piece of technology. You need a community of users that mutually help and that are willing to help the newly-arrived for that technology to be useful when you're the new arrival. Further, if you're the old-timer, you need those new arrivals to keep the blood fresh and the ideas hopping. You need the naive, stupid questions that tear at the very foundations of what you believe so that somewhere, sometime, a new cool idea pops forth. Stagnant, inbred communities (like Lisp's when I looked at it last) lead to stagnant, inflexible and increasingly irrelevant languages (like Lisp, last I looked). Vibrant, welcoming communities (like Ruby's, for the most part) lead to vibrant, hopping languages (like Ruby, for the most part). Purely social forces trump technical superiority (and make no mistake: I think Lisp is technically far superior to Ruby!). Now addressing the topic of Perl6, the social problem of its proponents claiming firsts that aren't leads me to some... suspicions. Suspicions that these people implementing this latest-greatest-language-to-end-all-languages haven't actually, you know, kept up on what other languages do. Like the fact that Lisp had features for making DSLs that most languages even today (and yes, I include Ruby here!) still can't match. Despite Lisp having been around since the '50s. What's happening here is that the technical chops of the people advocating the language are now suspect. Have they seen the other languages (note the plural!) that have permitted extensions? Have they investigated how those worked? Do they understand the weaknesses and the strengths of various approaches (note the plural!) to the puzzle? When they're claiming that they're the first, it calls all of that into doubt. I'm going to adopt a "wait and see" approach to Perl6, mostly, but so far... I'm not convinced. > Yes - I'm talking about a macro system, grammar engine or whatever > that helps you get over the impedance mismatch between the language's > base syntax and your embedded dsl's syntax. Writing macros in lisp is > trivial as long as your macros have a superficial syntactic > resemblance to lisp code. It looks like Perl 6 will go beyond that. So it will be like Dylan's? One of the canonical examples of a DSL in Dylan was a scheduling macro that allowed you to write what looked very much like a textual schedule that was actually code. The macro was a bit hairy, but no moreso than your average Perl program (and, amazingly, looked an awful lot less like executable line noise than a normal Perl program does). --=20 Michael T.
