Perl 6 is too much like Java
How so?
(Etc.)
You misunderstand. duff is not presenting a list of his own objections, he's collecting objections he's seen other people make.
Anyway, it's worth asking so. So: how so? Because the dereferencer is now a single dot? Because of Object Orientation pervasiveness? If the latter, then I can think of some other languages that would constitute a better target for a comparison. Anyway which one, apart Perl 6, will have it both just as pervasive and as transpartent, i.e. not invasive, at the same time? For the average user it would probably boil down most of the times to a bare .say in place of an argumentless print. All in all, great job I would say. Yes, even if it's yet unfinished as of now.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
