OK, but we will assume that it works for the sake of argument. Working well and looking good are not mutually exclusive (yes, it takes a hell of a lot of work). Take GitHub as an example. It's performant, easy to use, and has an appealing, minimalist design.

$PM = "Perl Monk's";
$MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest";
$nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

    It's also a service that gets money from its customers, unlike CPAN.

      More than likely it would take some money. But my question is this a matter that anyone who oversees CPAN has given consideration? Has anyone looked into the feasibility of improving PAUSE, for example? I imagine the Perl foundation might have connections to some multi millionaires who could spare a few bucks. Or maybe they don’t. Or maybe they do and it’s just not a priority. I just don’t know. And that’s what I’m wondering.

        There definitely are people trying to improve PAUSE: Pause on Mojolicious, even if it's more about the backend.

    That is not an argument for me then because I am not foolish enough to assume the precondition.

    Working well and looking good are not mutually exclusive

    Working well is objective, looking good is subjective.

      Everything in society is really just a mass hallucination and meaning is an illusion of language. Hence, nothing at all can be objective. Everything, at least everything we can experience, is a figment of our imagination.
