in thread Will Perl 6 Replace Perl 5?

Even when the Person Who Decides admits he chose it based on hubris and continuing his legacy rather than a rational thought process? Are you such a fanboy that Larry is beyond critique for you? I admire him as much as the next perl coder would, but I don't believe he is incapable of making mistakes, and the name is the first mistake for this project.

    Ask him yourself if I have any problem telling him which of his decisions I think are wrong. He certainly has no trouble politely doing the same to me when necessary.

    Wait, wait, wait... You're saying that there is Hubris involved in making decisions with Perl... OMG, I'm so glad you warned us. Larry must be stopped. The next thing you know he'll be foisting his Laziness and Impatience on us. Just imagine how detrimental those ideas would have been to earlier versions of Perl.

      Your attempt at deflecting the issue is denied.
