&lt;p&gt;Based solely on the announcement, it looks like Rakudo Star is the "first real release of Perl6" that I was so eagerly looking forward to six or eight years ago.  Logically, I should be very excited about this, jumping at the bit to try it out ASAP.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Emotionally, for some reason, I find that's not the case now.  At the moment, the idea of playing with Perl6 sounds more like work than fun.  How did &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; happen?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Perhaps it's just because it's August, and it's been eighty degrees in the shade at night with a gazillion percent humidity since late April.  Maybe when the weather cools down a bit and I get a couple of decent nights' sleep my enthusiasm for Perl6 will return, eh?&lt;/p&gt;</field>
