It's rare that I find a language that I truly feel innovates upon established conventions and features. Perl6 came out in late 2015 to little fanfare – it was written off by the Perl community as unnecessary change and by the larger…

The timing of the (public) release of these images could have been better, though. About two weeks ago, other nightlies were released as well, by Tony O'Dell, as has been noted in the Perl 6 Weekly post. While I greatly appreciate his efforts, I…
The Perl ShopAnother developer, Patrick 'tyil' Spek, is now also producing nightly Docker images for Perl 6. These are being produced in multiple flavors using different base OSs from 43MB Alpine base to 1.27GB Voidlinux base with dev tools.
