in thread Why should any one use/learn Perl 6?

Perl 6 discussions being welcome doesn't mean that they are exempt of critical replies.

I can hardly remember seeing any "just try it, you'll like it" here.

However I'm strictly against mobbing away people who want a civilized discussion ...

... and I wonder why we need to repeat this disput again and again.

    I can hardly remember seeing any "just try it, you'll like it" here.

    I remember more than a few "People who don't like it have never tried it!" claims. I remember (especially on the Perl subreddit) one user who posted walls of text haranguing people to try Rakudo who had is own troll following him around mocking him. We eventually banned the troll.

    Gish gallops aren't against the rules.

      I talked about the Monastery, I don't follow reddit.

      Not sure how bad habits in a foreign board should be related to our own ecosystem.

      update

      Neither sure why you mention gish gallops?

        I believe (but don't care enough to verify) that both people to whom I refer post(ed) here. I have no intention to call either of them out, because there's no value in doing so.

        My point is only that I believe that toxic Rakudo advocacy is counterproductive and exacerbates some of the response.
