in thread The future of Perl?

Some of us already basically watch it from outside. Apart from a few fixes to my modules I did not write any Perl for ... years and while there are things that nag me about C# (yes, regexp support) I'm pretty much gone.

And no, I do not thing a complete, functional, tested and reasonably performant Perl6 finished and released next month would change any of that. Neither for me, nor for the rest of the world. Not only is the language years overdue, it had morphed into something ugly, overcomplicated and messy.
