++ Totally. When I first heard about Perl 6 I was ecstatic. Then by Apocalypse 5 I was blanched and feeling like giving Ruby or Lisp another chance so I could be ready by the time ISPs and IT shops were dropping Perl in droves. Ovid's response to the post left me excited about Perl 6 again (as a language I'd fight with my bosses and admins to get installed if necessary) and feeling really proud of the manifold efforts behind it.
