From Why I’m Learning Perl 6:

"It’s funny, fifteen years ago everyone was saying how Perl was shooting itself in the foot with a massive language redesign, because the world was clearly going to switch to Python and Ruby. Well everyone did switch to Python and Ruby, but now everyone’s got the itch to switch again because it turns out Python and Ruby weren’t designed for concurrent code execution. Maybe shooting yourself in the foot isn’t such a bad strategy, if what you need are bionic robo-feet."

"Concurrency is hard and if you want M:N thread multiplexing (i.e. WEB SCALE CODE, where application threads aren’t pinned to pthreads) your options today are precisely Erlang, Go, .NET, and Perl 6."
