<blockquote><em>I thought and still think that v5 perfectly matches those words.</em></blockquote>
<p>No XS means no [CPAN://DBI] and no [CPAN://DateTime]. No XS also means no [CPAN://POSIX], no [CPAN://Fcntl], no [CPAN://Data::Dumper], no [CPAN://Storable], no [CPAN://Encode], no [CPAN://List::Util], and no [CPAN://Socket], to name a few core modules.</p>
<p>I don't know what kind of software you write, but without those modules most of the stuff I've written won't even load, let alone run, <em>including some one-liners</em>.</p>
<p>I'm sure it's a fun experiment for the author, but I could only write toy programs with it. I think I am not so alone in this.</p>
<blockquote><em>I will not be ruled by the fear that chromatic's P6 wounds might still not have healed...</em></blockquote>
<p>I shouldn't have to keep telling #perl6 this, but I recommend you spend a lot less time caring about how you imagine I might feel and more time understanding the technical concerns of people you're trying to market to.</p>
