But at this early stage, it seems to be only a copy of other programming languages, without the flexibility Perl can (and currently does) provide when it comes to object orientation.

Quite so. AFAICS that is rather the point - that this will be a gateway in for those more familiar with how such other languages do it. "See, Perl now has OO, just like python/ruby/lua/go/whatever!" and when the novice hits the limits of this new system they can then be introduced to the many other ways that Perl has for working with OO.

I don't see this new system as being aimed at experienced Perl programmers at all and there's no need for any of us to abandon what we currently use and migrate to it.
