in reply to How to let visitors know which Perl version we're talking about

Since it'll be years before there will be a stable perl6, don't you think it's a tad early for this discussion? Perlmonks be a memory of a distant past by that time....

    Are you saying that perlmonks will be long dead before perl6 comes out? That's extremely pessimistic on two fronts. On the one hand it implies that perl6 will be a long time coming (possibly true). But it also implies that perlmonks will die. The only way I can see that happening is if perl itself dies.

    What depressing thoughts!
