I believe in momentum. If it takes too long, it will wear down the very people working on it and diminish the interest and expectations of those eagerly awaiting its reease.

I believe in FSM. "And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed (...) and camels and parrots and finally a creature called Perl 6!"

Now, it happens that in recent times FSM gave me a sign: evidence is that people is not being worn down and that on the contrary we're living a period of renewed interest and intense development that doesn't give the slightest sign of slowing down. That's since Pugs appeared...

Update: s/FMS/FSM/ as per Nude Reaper's remark - in case you wonder, even though it was repeated twice, it was a typo, of course.
