primary goals of Perl 6 is to create a Perl that is more palatable and accessible to the people

Right, You need to CREATE it first to test its real use. How much more time will it take? Another decade? But what you define as a "ugly, complex, or otherwise has too many rough edges" language has managed to survive nearly 17 years of evolution with millions of users and its maker took probably just 3 years to build it. And is still going strong. We'll see how strong Perl 6 holds out against Perl 5 when they are in competition in the real world. But for that to happen first it must come out clean.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
