I feel that for the longevity of PerlMonks, we should allow Perl6 questions and discussions here. After all, as many Monks have stated, there are features in P6 that have been ported to P5, so some of it is inherent in the code we write already.

I understand your frustration, and in some ways I agree. However, I woke up this morning, and I think there were only three questions that were less than 24 hours old. If we stay status-quo and become stagnant, we risk ending up like Myspace or similar. Perl isn't dying, but it's definitely being overtaken.

Personally, I went down a P6 ride because of expert P5 programmers work on P6 I spotted in their PM sigs (moritz for one) years ago. Now that's not a valid reason, but honoring those folk who may have moved away from PM because of a perceived lack of support is.

My desire is to keep PM my primary source for learning about, and sharing my knowledge of all things Perl... if necessary, from v1.0 through vx.x. We always have the option to consider an edit to add a "Perl6: " type prefix to a post if one feels it necessary.
