Whoah, cowboy. I was not sniping. I was using an example of how a great project which doesn't wind up LCD can take a very long time. Sorry I was oblique about it.

Update: Just want to add that I thought my love affair with Perl was so well documented herein that the proper tone would emerge. To whatever extent there was an opinion in the "coffee cup" riff it was from my perspective complimentary. I see LCD in the human world as perhaps the greatest single ill and a near lock for group projects. Sure I would have loved to have had my hands on a code complete Perl 6 four years ago but I'm not complaining. I admire the effort and amazing design work that continues to go into it and if anything I'm embarrassed I don't have the chops to contribute directly.
