    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.

        Sure, and I was obviously not referring to such monks. And especially not to you. I disagree with you on the subject, but that's OK for me: you and I are perfectly entitled to have our own diverging opinions on this, we just can't agree on everything.

        Update: s/months/monks/. Thanks to LanX for pointing out the typo.

        Some of us have an informed negative reaction towards Tk or Windows.

        Do you think that's reason enough to hijack threads and spread hate whenever Tk or Windows was mentioned? (Like some monks here love to do if Perl6 is concerned?)

        Personally I would have preferred to have called this product Perl++, alas there is no TimeMachine.pm on CPAN.

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

      Enoch was right!
      Enjoy the last years of Rome.

      And the by far loudest one is actually the most isolated!

      Better don't worry! :)
