I love Perl. My favourite language.

But i hate Perl6. It feels like an obnoxious showoff who people prefer not to talk to.

It offers little that I crave for in Perl. And those bits I can do with Go already.

Perl6 is a distraction from what we should have had .. I'm still dreaming of the day Perl7 comes out with these features: (i) full Perl5 functionality (without having that klunky Inline::Perl5), and (ii) built-in concurrency.

Perl6 is late to the party. Sorry kid, nobody likes you and besides, it's time to go home.
