    Make no mistake, despite those who'd predict an "Epoch fail", Perl 6 is the future - and it always will be.
    The fate of Perl 6 is tied to that of IPv6. Widespread adoption of each is expected at the same rough timeframe.

    Renaissance? Please don't tell us that PERL has been "born again". It's not stupid enough for that...
