  • Leon Timmermans commented on Perl 7, not quite getting better yet

    No apologies needed, but taking things to p5p may be a good idea indeed.

    Can we just have a /usr/bin/perl-ng (for 'next gen', or any other cheesy suffix we can think of)? It doesn't take over /usr/bin/perl, we won't end up with multiple perl8, perl9, etc... And it still has "perl" in it. /usr/bin/perl-ng will be 7 and beyond, /usr/bin/perl will be 5.x. Distros can ship a perl 7+, and a perl 5.x. It will be annoying to remember adding -ng to perldoc, cpan, and a few others, but, seems like something we can get used to (I'd just use shell aliases or something).

    Nice article, I see most of your points. For the purposes of accuracy, however, you might like to correct what you say about Python3 and the Linux distros. Fedora (since Fedora 32 which is the latest stable) has switched to Python3 by default (and yes, this has upset many dev folk that were still relying on Python2). Gentoo (I think) has a compilable option to switch to Python3 and OpenMandriva has also ditched Python2. So, things are happening there.

  • Mike Houghton commented on graphql-perl - plugin to make GraphQL "just work" with Mojo publish/subscribe functionality

    This is impressive!

    I have just used it for a little internal project; I didn't realise it was so fresh though.

    Could I suggest a followup where you discuss how to amend the schema?

    For example:

    - if I flat out do not want any of the mutations just for safety reasons
    - if I want to add a query type?
    - if I want to add a default where clause to an existing query?

    I've bodged the first two of these things but I'm sure not healthily...

    Oops, I left my comment on the wrong one of your posts. Still -- thanks for the Mojo/GraphQL stuff!
