      Yes, you're right and I agree with you, but there are unfortunately quite a few monks around here who have very negative knee-jerk reactions to Perl 6.

        Sure, but there are also monks who spent a lot of time with it and have developed an informed, negative reaction to it.

        Way too many years of "it will be released before Christmas" tend to have that effect.

        Better don't worry! :)
