Original node poster ...

I thought that it's understood :) I never planed to only know Perl. As a matter of fact trough my education (High and now Advanced School for Electrical Engineering) I learned some Assembler, Pascal, C and C++, VB, Java, JavaScript, now learning C# ... and I plan to take a look at PHP, Python and Ruby when I have some free time.

But I still believe that there has to be one thing which you will consider that you know best (out of all other things you know). And just wondering should it be Perl. Currently I do know Perl best out of those I already learned simply because I use it most - but feel and know there is a lot more to learn about it.

As I said, no one can (with 100% accuracy) predict what will be going on in the future - especially in IT. So I don't plan to be a racing horse with that eye-fold they have to look only in one direction ...

PS If Perl6 is going to take that long (why is that anyway?) don't you think it will be old technology at the time it hits 'production'? What needs to be done to speed it up?
