I never liked the proposed changes for Perl 6 from Perl 5. Never. When i heard about them 10 years i decided it was not a language for me. Unfortunately, there are too many "nerds" here that get very upset (and downvote as a knee-jerk reaction) when folks remind them that Perl 6 has still not been released. I always thought being a "nerd" was a good thing. :)

UPDATE: yes runrig. I intentionally replied with the full understanding of the risk. I disagree with Anony and feel that we should be proud of our posts. I have been listening to/reading Perl 6 teases like this for 10 years now. I don't find it to be coincidence that Perl 5 has lost so much market share during this time. Our community was divided because of Perl 6.
