in reply to how to hack on pugs in ghci? how to use perl6 regexen and grammars in haskell?

...asking again now because pugs is now available

I could be wrong about this, so feel free to correct me, but my understanding is that Pugs is a dead project. Already the Perl 6 spec has moved some considerable distance from what Pugs was targetting at the time (circa 2006-2007).

If you are a black belt über Haskell programmer of the seventeenth dan, then you should be able to figure out what's going wrong anyway. If you want to poke around at a decent Perl 6 implementation, then you ought to be looking at Rakudo.

The thing is, haskell could really use =~ s/../../ Parsec is great and all, but sometimes you just want to do the easy thing, especially if you're coming from perl. Since pugs exists, I can't help this feeling that I'm tantalizingly close...
