Its better!! (Score 1)

Not a Perl veteran, but as some one who have used Perl as one of the main programming languages from last 9 years and has written Production applications in Perl covering more than 50,000 LOC, I am pleasantly surprised to see new Perl 6 Language specification. It is new Perl, with better & cleaner syntax without compromising original Perl identity of being expressive, the language of programmers (more than the language of computers) and many other good things Perl has to offer to generations of Programmers. Even with Perl 5, I never understood so called write only language stamping on Perl, as code written by me has been well maintained in last 9 years by 2 different successive teams to add new features. Ironically, pure Java programmers quickly understood one of my 8 years Perl application code while porting it to Java to gain better performance on multi-core processor in visualized environment (which had good mathematical computations). So its all about programming style, not programming language itself. Seeing new Perl 6, which looks considerably different from Perl 5 and adds many great things to help programmers to write faster and better programs, I think it will be liked by all Perl lovers and sys admins, as well as by new programmers coming in contact with Perl!!
