"Well first, we finally got rid of the Rakudo shadow, and Perl 7 is on it’s way. I can’t believe we didn’t see this textbook example on how to kill a good existing product: advertise the new one is coming, before it’s even born. There are so many examples in history, of organizations shooting themselves in the foot this way, it’s even stupid. And yet, we did exactly that. The way Perl 6 was managed was really destructive to our beloved language, and our community. Yet here we are. We survived, we are tired and demoralized, yes. But I truly think we can finally start to heal and oxygenate the ecosystem with the coming of Perl 7."

It is difficult for me to express how angry, disappointed, sad, mad, and enraged I am because of this paragraph. And all those people who reacted to the whole post as a supreme bit of wisdom. I guess nobody needs to wonder any more why I (and other) left the Perl community. Please be free from the shackles we from that damned language put on your ankles. Free at last, heh? Good luck with your next disaster, Perl 7.

Yes, I am angry. And I know some of you are happy to see me go. For good. Rid of my shadow.
