Just to be absolutely clear, in case my comment was taken the wrong way by anyone, this was in no way meant as a slur on brian d foy. On re-reading, I can see that could be a possible misinterpretation. If the article had been written by Any Author, I would have written "... 14 years later, poor old Any is still waiting ...".

I think, back in the mid to late 2000s, many of us believed that Perl6 would simply supplant Perl5 — in much the same way as Perl5 supplanted Perl4 — and by now we would maybe be talking about v6.22.0 instead of v5.34.0 (the 22 is completely arbitrary; although, it does perhaps roughly fit with v5.10.0 release in 2007).

There was also nothing intentionally negative about Perl6/Raku. I never engaged in the flame wars we saw not so long ago and have no wish to re-ignite them now.
