This includes > Perl OOP. For what it's worth, I think I agree with this sentiment. We have mostly working, if crippled, OOP. We don't have practical concurrency in a meaningful form. And I know one company that is dumping Perl for Java because, quote "Java can use all of the cores" unquote. There really aren't any popular dynamic languages with a properly working concurrency model (Raku's awesome, but I don't think it's "popular"). We need useful/easy concurrency, though I'm unsure if we'll get it. That being said, it's not a zero-sum game. Useful OOP will still be a huge game changer. Give me: - Concurrency - OOP - Signatures - Some way of defining enforceable types With that, Perl can come out of the gate swinging.
