What is Perl 6?

chromatic writes "Perl.com has a new article entitled What is Perl 6?. It analyzes the changes to the language in light of the good and bad points of Perl 5 and provides new information about the current state of the project: Perl 6 exists, you can write code in it today, and it's more consistent and easier to use than Perl 5."

    I did not read your post, but my eye fell on 'why is it so hard to get this simple explanation' line...with an explanation so long for such a simple thing, don't you think that it is not simple at all?
