in thread How much is Perl6 the community rewrite of Perl?
I didn't post untruths.
You posted:
Perl 6 didn't evolve, they threw away most of Perl 5, maybe except the sigil syntax, also things were promised that never were realized or could actually be realized, which formed a community of dreamers, following the dream of the ultimate programming language.
The second half of that sentence may be debatable, but I don't see how the first half could be opinion. Either Perl 6 evolved, or it didn't. (I was there. I've taken 400,000 words of notes from design meetings.) It evolved. Either it throws away most of Perl 5 or it doesn't. (It hasn't.) Either the sigil syntax hasn't changed or it has. (It has.)
