in thread Is Haskell always going to be needed for Perl6 compilation?

Perl 6 development has shown a lot of inertia
Since "inertia" means both "things at rest tend to stay at rest", and "things going quickly tend to remain going quickly", what exactly did you mean by this statement?

Are you saying "Perl6 development is unstoppable!"?

    I mean both. For the last five years, Perl6 development itself was mostly stagnant. Now, it gained lots of momentum, but not through the people originally involved with it. I think it will keep going in that direction, at least until the personae dramatis change again.
