<i>And this is a problem why? :-)</i><p>
Because, for example, alternatives might be preferred in real world projects. This means less perl programming for us :(<p>
<i>The features that are being added to Perl6 are features that I miss a great deal in perl5.</i><p>
Maybe after I learn perl6 will miss them in perl5 too :).<p>
Whether they will help us write better software remains to be seen.<p>
<i>So far I've not seen any evidence that it will be slower. Quite the opposite.</i><p>
So far, parrot cannot handle everything perl5 does.<p>
As far as typing goes, the Python authors argue that this one of the reasons for Pythons success. I tend to agree.<p>
<i>If you take a look around the mailing list archives you will find people are thinking about this.</i><p>
I'm looking at the lists (actually news) quite regulary.<p>
The java docs state that any new JVM implementation should start with good ideea of how JNI will work. I think it's a good advice that the Parrot developers should take.<p>
BTW, why is perl6-porters not gatewayed to nntp.perl.org any more? The last messages date February 2001.<p>
