> like the Perl 5 "rewrite" of Perl 4 Was P5 really a rewrite of P4, or did you put it in "quotes" for irony? I always thought it was a very clever piggyback of new concepts on top of P4 to keep full compatibility. Which was brilliant from a marketing perspective. The resulting problem was high complexity in many aspects not least because of very different concepts breaking orthogonality (I could name dozen of examples). And that led IMHO to the believe that P6 needed to be the opposite, a total rewrite which must break compatibility.
