    It's about time perl6 the language started taking shape. Hopefully it will live up to the hype. Parrot sounds like a great platform on which to build a language and I really like some of the things I've read about perl6 the language. It reamains to be seen how good the threading model will be though. Perl5 recently got semi-usable threading but because it was a retrofit, it has proven a little tough to use. I'm hoping perl6's will be designed to work better with things like mod_perl.

    Pfft, all languages are easy to learn. All languages are also a PITA to master. Perl is no different.

    There goes my karma.
