Re^3: Amicable divorce

I think this whole numbering thing is ridiculous nonsense.

We just got over the whole Perl6 fiasco that lasted nearly two decades, and now we're right back where we started.

Just rename it to Purl, and start back at version 1.0.

I think 7 is an overdue signal that Perl is alive and that development continuous.

I could tell you plenty of stories from people insisting that development froze because of 6. They don't believe me when I say that 5.30 was released.

I even see the current controversies positive because they seem to break the lethargy.

I agree with your mother tho that it might already be 10 years too late .

If this is indeed the signal we are sending (I don't think so), but if we do: we are misleading the public. We should stop that.

Dear Peter, друг!

You lost me, I really don't know what your goal is.

Could you please explain in simple words?

Best in a central European no BS way without Anglo-Saxon marketing drivel?

Please be assured that I can separate technical arguments from personal feelings ... you son of a rabbit! ;P
