• Commented on p6env - Perl6 environment manager
  Yeah I removed the entirety of my old environment first. Its the zef and perl6 from within .p6env, the environment variables are set. I just tried installing another module with a CLI tool and it worked fine. I'll try reinstalling...
• Commented on p6env - Perl6 environment manager
  Tried everything out, and it works great. Thanks for your effort! But not sure what is happening to executables zef installs. Rakudobrew a rehash would have the 'cro' executable in my path after an install. I cant even find a...

  http://irclog.perlgeek.de/marpa/2015-12-30#i_11804126 [Idiosyncrat] I note here the line about Perl 6 grammars, "which Perl 6 uses to parse itself" [Idiosyncrat]That is not really true -- to the extent it suggests a feature that a Perl 6 adopter could use, it is...

  Exploring Perl 6 in your browser might be a good one since it would enable interactive tutorials to be made. I thought about maybe doing this with Perlito a while ago. By running in the users browser you avoid all...

  > you’re going to pick Javascript and node.js

  Reads like wishful thinking and rationalisation. Betting your business on Node is more risky than you realise. In case you subscribe to the theory of hipster programmer migration passed around on conference hallway tracks, then you see that Node currently is the target of the "locusts" and they will in rather short time fall upon to the next shiny thing, perhaps Erlang, leaving behind burnt earth and empty husks. Visit your local Ruby user group some time and ask for stories about maintaining their Rails apps.

  @fmtyew.tk, I mostly don't disagree with what you said except for one thing. You're comparing Perl 5 to JavaScript. I have no intention of leaving Perl 5. But the point of this discussion is that Javacript seems to have more to offer than Perl 6, especially from a business perspective. I hope that Perl 6 gets there, but without discussion it likely won't.

  the average JS programmer produces worse results than the average programmer from any other dynamic language (e.g. Ruby or Perl)

  But there are many more JS programmers around. I expect the ratio in Perl was similar a decade ago.

  I don't disagree with your list of points about NPM and related ecosystem, but many of those apply just as much to Perl modules. I would suggest that comparing Catalyst to Express is bizarre, though - the latter is closer to something like Web::Simple.

  We have reviews, yes - not many of them, and lots of politics in the ones …

  Dear JT,

  I think you missed the point. Perl 6 is here so that there will be Perl jobs even in 30-40 Years.

  First, check which zef you've executed:
  

  $ which zef

  If the output is ~/.p6env/shims/zef, then you shoud have cro in the same directory, i.e., ~/.p6env/shims/cro. (this is expected)

  If the output is something like /path/to/.../share/perl6/site/bin/zef, then your setup of p6env is incomplete.

  Please make sure
  a) you add the two lines to ~/.bash_profile or something,
  b) restart your shell,
  c) check ~/.p6env/shims comes first in $PATH environment variable.
