Re^6: Should I come back to Perl?

[Jenda]

Perl6 is not the C++ to C, it's the Ada to Pascal without the backing of DoD.

[Laurent_R]

I guess this comparison with Pascal and Ada is indeed more accurate (although comparing Perl 5 with Pascal seems a bit awkward to me). But I only said that the comparison with C and C++ was "illustrative", meaning simply that it conveys the general idea that the P5 and P6 languages are different, although obviously sharing a lot of ideas, having a somewhat similar syntax (at least superficially) and belonging to the same family.
