in thread Why Perl 6 is taking so !@#$ long

The C language has been around for about 30(?) years and BASIC in all its forms at least 25 years

Basic is nearly twice as old as that. It was written by Kemeny and Kurtz at Dartmouth University in the early 1960s. On the subject of Basic, in case people haven't seen it yet, Audrey Tang's Visual Basic Rocks talk is a required read.
