I don't like Perl6 as a language. I don't agree with most of the changes from Perl, I don't like the syntax of the new stuff. That's not the important thing though! If Perl6 was started and advertised as a test project that might eventually become a successor of Perl and named accordingly, it might not get the initial level of interest, but IMNSHO it would not be met with hostility after it failed to deliver. And sorry, the benchmarks are yet another proof that it still hadn't delivered.

I'm sure it's fun for those with free time and I'm absolutely fine with that!
