1. I think you are more likely to get good responses to these questions/criticisms if a) you state them as questions and not as criticisms b) you post them to the appropriate Perl 6 mailing list. While discussing Perl 6 is definitely appropriate on PM, I don't see that this is the *best* place for such discussions. I'm guessing the bulk of the people who can make intelligent arguments on behalf of the decisions made do not frequent PM enough to catch this. Maybe I'm wrong, we've certainly had some interesting new Monks join lately.

1.a. Maybe it would be a good idea for Perl Monks to get a new section for Perl 6? Where discussions like this and maybe links to other Perl 6 info would be gathered up... I'd volunteer to work on it, but I'm more likely to learn Ruby than to worry about Perl 6 in the next 12 months. :D

2. You're obviously familiar with the Perl 6 development sites and the community efforts surrounding same. Surely some of these questions are answered in either the Apocalypse/Exegesises, the RFCs, or on the discussion lists (especially those related to design/development)...

Just my two cents.
