When we are finished, Armageddon will occur
That's good news. It means Perl 6 will be ready X-Mas 2012.

Larry himself recently said "I think {a new camel} is one of the things we need to do to productize Perl 6 over the next year or two".
The date you suggest sort of lines up with Larry's estimate for time to "productize" it, whatever that means.
I'm curious about your definition of Perl 6, and how you arrived at the date you suggest.

Perl is like fine wine. You can drink it a month after you bottled it, but you wont enjoy it.
But you take care of it for a decade or two, make sure it's stored right, regularly turn the bottles, maybe exchange the cork once or twice and respected connoisseurs will fall on their knees and beg you for more.

I don't think Perl programmers generally care what "respected connoisseurs" think. Maybe Perl 6 is the wrong register.

The only thing that I would suggest to the Perl-6 team is: “don’t call it Perl-6.” It may well be a language that is source-code backward compatible with Perl-5, but I am of the opinion that quite clearly it is best described as a new language development effort, and I believe that this is how it should be professionally presented.
Furthermore, I have no problems with this notion. If a “new language” that is built from Perl, and that is meant to be a successor to what Perl has begun, seems good to enough engineers, then let it be so. I do look forward to it, with considerable interest. But let us, if but for the sake of clarity, give it a new name. (Most unfortunately, and perhaps not coincidentally, “camel” seems to be taken ...)
