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

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...	[reply]
