# Awesome Perl 6 [![Awesome](https://awesome.re/badge.svg)](https://awesome.re)

> Useful resources for the [Perl 6](https://perl6.org/) programming language

:warning: *Perl 6* will be **renamed** to *Raku* (see [here](https://github.com/perl6/problem-solving/pull/89#pullrequestreview-300789072)). Hence, this repository has been **replaced** by [awesome-raku](https://github.com/sfischer13/awesome-raku). :warning:

[Perl 6](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl_6), also called *Raku*, is a multi-paradigm language with exceptional string-processing support.
It is *not* a new version of [Perl 5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl).
Instead, it is regarded as a new member of the Perl family breaking compatibility with its older sister language.
Among many improvements, the string-processing capabilities of Perl 6 were brought to a higher level by adding so-called [grammars](https://docs.perl6.org/language/grammar_tutorial) to the language.
