Oooh it's on slashdot! Now we can troll there instead!

For the morally opposed, I shall now summarize the comments:

• This is too long, I can't read it.
• Perl is line noise. I'm afraid of syntax.
• I'm a python/ruby/tcl/java/etc troll.
• One word. COBOLSCRIPT!
• Parrot is Perl 6.
• I wrote a complete Perl 6 compiler in 4 hours, but it only runs on my super nintendo. No you can't see the source code.
• First Post!

That's about it, as you can see it's a great improvement over the last announcement! ;-)
