A good number of people don't like it purely because they don't understand it. The changes scare them, threaten their comfortable feeling of knowing Perl. /callousness/ People that can't handle change really oughtn't be in the software industry. I spent a great many hours studying CORBA only to find it vanishing. I don't want to learn .NET (or Mono), but by god I'm gonna have to. /\callousness/ Having said that, perhaps a good question here is whether the target audience is people who are relunctant to explore new technologies in general (in which case goto(/callousness/)), or people that are entertaining other options in lieu of Perl 6, i.e., Python, Ruby. If it's the former, this book is a hand-holding reference*; if the latter, then this is really an evangelical text that ought to be written in a manner suitable for "backsliding" programmers as well as project managers and PHB's. In short, I still think this book needs to do one thing well, not try to appeal to two different audiences simultaneously. * Errm, a reference that holds your hand...not, oh nevermind In reply to Re: Re: Re: The Quest for the Holy Grail...erm...Book
