Unfortunately, none of them have support for OMEMO.


Try NetBSD and its npf firewall and tell us about the performance.


Hi Perl fans!

I've never programmed in Perl, but a couple years ago I read a Raku book and was delighted with the language. At the time, I was interested in learning a new scripting language. Raku and Tcl were at stake. I built a small script to compare the run speed and Raku was about 40 times slower than Tcl for my use case, if my memory is not betraying me. So, I went for Tcl that I also like very much.

Still, there's some opportunity for Perl, as I may need it in the short future.

From the features of Raku that are mentioned in the home page, namely: 1. Object-oriented programming including generics, roles and multiple dispatch 2. Functional programming primitives, lazy and eager list evaluation, junctions, autothreading and hyperoperators (vector operators) 3. Parallelism, concurrency, and asynchrony including multi-core support 4. Definable grammars for pattern matching and generalized string processing 5. Optional and gradual typing

what are the ones that will be available for Perl7, which I've already read that will be similar to the last Perl5 with saner defaults?


"Object-oriented programming including generics, roles" is basically it, as far as I know following developments from an appropriate distance.


Everyday there's at least a post about Lisp. But I see none about TCL that is as regular in syntax as Lisp. Some call it a Lisp without parenthesis.

TCL is also very stable between releases, it has industrial strength and threading support.

But it lacks advocacy. It could get one tenth of what Lisp gets...


Lisp compiles to native code, TCL is forever parsing the strings it passes around.


> TCL is forever parsing the strings it passes around.

No it isn't. Tcl has had dual-ported objects and a bytecode interpreter for over 20 years.


Well I learned something. But if you represent a list as a lift of strings wouldn’t it have to parse them as Argv in the c implementation? It has been a while but only 17 years since I wrote TCL commands but each one started with a list of strings. Maybe the byte code interpreter doesn’t work with older C extensions? But the main selling point of TCL was easy extension.


Only if you were using the pre-Tcl 8 FFI API, our startup was built on a Tcl "Rails" similar to AOL Server, and we did plenty of native bindings.


Tcl is quite nice, having been part of a product similar to AOL Server, I never got the hype around Rails.


He's been abusing people as well. So many injured by the poison injections they call 'vaccines'. So many suffering from diseases that he did everything to hide the causes and treatments from the public. See the 'Plandemics' video, for example.


Psychopaths. So much suffering that these people are causing others. And the great majority of people still decide to believe in the Government and in the pharmaceutical pseudo studies. There will be a selection of people: the dumb, injected by poison that believe in the propaganda, apart from the ones that are able to think rationally and logically and also feel what's going on.

Each has to decide what path to walk on life. Consequences will accrue shortly for the scientism believers.


I absolutely agree.


Why don't you check NetBSD's npf? It's not yet as featured as pf but will be. And NetBSD is a very stable system.


For anyone that wants to learn about Pharo, I recommend this online course: https://www.fun-mooc.fr/en/courses/live-object-programming-p... It's available in English and French.



Top secret communications by people that register at matrix.org that uses Google`s recaptcha that collect their IPs? Strange, as Google and privacy have nothing in common.


Matrix is decentralized, you don't have to use a server that connects to Google services.
