Where can I find a Perl 6 langauge reference?

2006-05-18 Thread Thomas Wittek
Where should I start, when I want to get myself a picture of the current Perl 6 language features and syntax? Where is the best place to take a look at, when I want to start experimenting with Perl 6 and pugs? Would you recommend reading the synopses[1]? Or should I take a look at pugs-doc? Or is

As it happens I am running OS X, and may try to install everything this weekend. Haskell, eh? That should be interesting. If no one can provide a step-by-step for doing this whole process (erm, pleeease?) I'll try to write one up myself. Let you know. --m On 18/05/06, David Romano <[EMAIL PROTE

I didn't know about the pugs docs, that's really helpful. I would say the synopses are awesome. It is like reading one of those Programmers Notes ORA books but even more to the point. The only problem I see, is that the corner cases aren't explained very well, and that is very apparent when you wa

Is there a perl6-user-doc wiki? It might be a great way to write documentation. Free collaborative documentation for a free collaborative language - what could be better? Let alone Wikipedia - Wikis can be even greater than you think. For example, check out this site: http://wiki.osdc.org.il/in
