in reply to future of perl in 2010

The excitement of Perl6 and Parrot has been going on for eight years now, and they have been ready next "Christmas" every year.I see Perl being used for old and new development, but then, I work neither in a startup nor through a recruitement agency, so I don't monitor the buzzword market.

    Actually, 2010 will see the tenth anniversary of the Perl 6 effort (it was at the 2000 TPC that coffee mugs were thrown and the RFCs were drafted). Parrot came somewhat later, I think it'll be indeed 8 years in 2010.
