I'm afraid a bit of Perl 6 changes, but i cant stop perls' evolution and i really don't want it to stop, but i'm afraid of it ;-)
Afraid of what you ask? Changes, relearning of my favourite language, shortage of time... If i think of all the scripts i'll have to change manually or even convert them to P6 notation i feel sick ;-)

But there are also some advantages of that situation:
  1. a bit of adrenaline is a good thing ;-) (try jumping out of a plane ;-P)
  2. i'll improve my programming skills
  3. it's a great opportunity to learn something new
  4. changes are the best things in the world

Why? One of my friends told me one day that all the changes are good things - even if they *hurt* at the moment. Maybe sad, but i believe that's true!
If Larry says that it would be better, i believe him. If something has changed, it means that the change was needed - that's all.

So i'm not afraid of changes... I'm afraid of myself - if i could get used to those new features, notations, etc. ;-)

BIG smile!
Greetz, Tom.
