Dear woolfy,

Even if I was never deeply involved in the Perl world I know you as a fundamental column of the community.

I never commented about perl5/6/7/camelia/raku/whatsoever because I have no knoweledge nor skills to apport something useful to the discussion. Nor I never had the time to investigate nothing but (classic) perl.

I hear my name in your:

> all those people who reacted to the whole post as a supreme bit of wisdom.

I still think the original post is a bit of wisdom and I intentionally avoided the perl5/6/7/raku/whatsoever part in my comment.

But dont you know, being around for many years, that many people think this way? In many degrees, variations and shades? Perl6 did not changed the name to Raku?

A community must be sensible and sensitive about people perceptions in all its shades and taking a common denominator to progress as community.

If you get angry for the opinion you quoted, it means the wound is still open and I'm sorry for this.

I hope the best future for all projects perl5/6/7/raku/whatsoever and I'd not cast a disaster word to no one of these pieces.

As you can imagine I'm not happy at all (and I'm sure most of us) to see you go away, nor to see you angry. Democracy, or well freedom of expression, often offers mouthful hard to swallow but get angry does not help.

    Thank you for kind words. They lessen my anger, but increase my sadness. Because they made me think back to the time when I decided I had to leave the Perl-community, and later the Raku-community too. Sadness also because I do not see enough reasons to come back on that decision. I do not see the need for anybody on this forum to write so negatively about Raku.
