What do you think is wrong with Perl 6?

What do I think? I don't even understand what you think!

Perl 6 is too much like Java

How so?

Perl 6 isn't Perl 5

Duh... If Perl 6 was Perl 5 we wouldn't be designing it, would we?

Perl 6 is being designed by committee

Your point being...?

Perl 6 is suffering from the second-system effect

I must admit I have no idea what that expression means... Could you explain?

Perl 6 is hurting Perl 5 by consuming resources

Not necessarily. What makes you think that the resources being consumed with Perl 6 would be diverted to Perl 5 if it weren't for Perl 6? Maybe those people would be spending their time and money with others languages instead!

So what I'd like to do ... present to the people working on Perl 6 in a "respond to these objections" sort of way.

And by that you'd be trying to achieve exactly what?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
