That is incredibly disingenuous, Liz. As you know better than most other people, The Perl Foundation spends money to sponsor technical conferences under the "Perl6" name, using the butterfly logo as the sponsor logo, and has tables at them with "P6" banners and other paraphernalia.

It's notable that the TPF blurb you cited makes no mention of the fact that Perl 5 and "P6" are separate languages, "sisters in the same family", etc., even though this is the apparently official position as published on perl.org. But it's not surprising, given that your own thoughts on the matter are public record (2018-01-17):

19:41 lizmat: I would like to go on record that I have never bought in +to the sister language argument 19:42 I think it was a necessary evil at the time 19:42 and I think it is time to get rid of that necessary evil
Necessary evil for what, Liz? For maintaining the pretense that "P6" was not in fact intended to displace Perl? If you mean something else, please clarify.

As for your other absurd assertion: to say that because TPF is the legal umbrella for PerlMonks, and because PM does not (in your assertion) promote "P6", therefore TPF cannot be promoting "P6", is not only a complete syllogism, it flies in the face of the fact that PerlMonks (against the wishes of some of its members) does carry "P6" promotional announcements, often front-paging them.


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
