So the idea of the question is that there is a very easy way of writing Perl objects (Moose), would that enable a new Bio- repository to succeed, or (more realistically) become a Perl "revival" or "greater acceptance" within bioinformatics. I think the question is clear, and the response in one instance is "no". Perl6 might change that response and Perl5 Moose is part the transition. The foundational concepts do affect how you code. | |

| May 10, 2019 at 11:00 | comment | added | M__♦ | @DanielStandage summarises the status quo behind the question and is saying 'not impressed'. If you've never tried writing Perl objects (which are terrible) it's difficult emote. BioPerl likely never succeeded because it required writing Perl objects. .Moose overcomes this with aplomb, but skepticism remains. | |

| May 10, 2019 at 9:38 | comment | added | M__♦ | Hi Llrs, I will provide a clearer explanation as a brief post at the end of the chat. The post is more about the future of Perl in bioinformatics, it isn't meant to be taken at face value. We don't have a tag for BioPerl because BioPerl was never a success, that was my point. If we don't have a tag about BioPython we should do (because it's good). | |
| May 10, 2019 at 8:42 | comment | added | llrs | I don't understand your question. Do you ask why BioMoose is...? Or do you want to have a tag with BioMoose here on bioinformatics.SE? The reason why there isn't a BioPerl tag is that no one asked a question about it. So if you want to have the BioMoose tag, ask questions about it here. | |
