>IMO, this is more FUD ("Nobody is talking about Perl 6"). Here's an off-the-cuff and horribly incomplete list for 2009, in no particular order:
Sorry, but how many of these posts are talking about the complexity behind Perl 6?
I know some of the people and read a lot from them, I also read Dan Sugalski's blog from start till burnout.
I suppose most of these posts have the aim to keep people interested and get them involved and NOT to lower expectations or criticizing the complexity.
This is for sure a fantastic project, but we should start getting realistic about it.
The Perl community could have massive boost just by making a big release with "boring features"¹ but could then easily challenge the "sex appeal" from Ruby and Python.
Just like a plane is followed regularly by a bigger plane to keep the market interested and not by a rocket.
And I'm sure this major release would
a) put lots of pressure away from your team and
b) build a bridge to your project by incorporating concepts
c) therefore push the further development of it!
Cheers Rolf
¹) Nota bene: I don't say YOU are to implement these boring features!
