Frankly, I wouldn’t worry too much about porting anything to Perl6 ... or to any of its many acronyms ... unless and until it is clearly demonstrated, by market forces, that this language is actually “commercially viable.”

You are deadly wrong. If all human beings behaved by your standards, fire and the wheel would still need to be invented. And, of course, we would not be talking on the Internet. Fortunately, there are some people who are willing to work for free.

Now, it seems, based on your comments, that you haven't understood anything about open source and free software.

But this is what Perl is about.

Je suis Charlie.

  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
