"Perl6 is the next to last step from finally reimplementing lisp?"

Seriously though, I don't think I'll want to program in a language which can be meaningfully summarized in one sentence.

I only hope the implementers can keep their cool and don't rush a half baked Perl6 out the door. The best of Perl6 is too good for that, and Perl5 is constantly improved by the research they do, and the fine work of p5p.
