Nonsense. Perl was becoming the despised step child of programming languages and being rejected at all the big shops like Amazon and Yahoo *before* Perl6 was even conceived. I was at Amazon then and watched it unfold under the bootheel of Java and the giddiness for Ruby. Perl6 did, however, help with the resuscitation of Perl5 c 2005. None of the negativity or attacks on Perl6 here have ever helped Perl5 in the slightest; only increased acrimony and sent users like liz who had straddled and contributed to both worlds away.
