As some may know, my field of work is information systems. I've been working with this for some time now, and from time to time, I develop a new framework to make my work better. Some, unfortunally, got lost in the proprietary world, but notabily one, is free software (Perl Oak).

It's been quite a long time (1 or 2 years) since I started thinking about raising Oak2 from the ground up, I've made some work (available on CVS only), but nothing really relevant.

But this year I got wonderful news. A project that I submitted to FINEP (a brazillian's government reasearch agency) was approved, and I'll have resources for machines and people for 2 years. The project aims to raise Oak2 to version 1.0 in the end of the 24th month (eXtreme Programming concepts used, so we'll release 1.0 with all we can get on this time frame)

Well, considering the 24 months will start counting in the next couple months, I was wondering if it's sane to bet on Perl 6, or if I should stick with Perl 5...

UPDATE: The title was /(66|[^6]{2})/ BTW, for those who doesn't like poetry, the title means "To 6 or not to 6", which clearly is a parody of the famous /(bb|[^b]{2})/, or, "To be or not to be"...
