Perl6 is no Perl it has been renamed to Raku. The rest of the Perl5 environment it's ultra-compatible with previous releases.
Albeit compiling PDL it's rough case.
You look like never touched Perl seriously, Raku it's still a hard deviation.
No one used Perl6 on real life environments. It's the Duke Nukem Forever of the programming languages.
Using Perl6 as an argument on Perl5 it's like bashing the simple and clean ANSI C giving C++ as the example and its the crazy redundant features as a rant.
We're talking about the choice of Python for ML when CUDA came along, nearly 20 years ago. Upthread, alaties said:

I did.
In 2007, Perl 6 was not Raku, it was intended to be the next major version of Perl. But it had been in development for ~7 years already, couldn't be relied on or predicted, and had become a bit of a joke. Since Perl 6 was still supposed to be the future of Perl, in 2007 Perl very much seemed unstable and unsuitable as a foundation for ML research.
I agree on Perl's choice. But Perl5 was granted as an stable platform, kinda like AWK, pretty much unlike Perl6, which wasn't the future of the current Perl5 at all, except for the hype.
