Are you serious? Perl is the *prime* example of "unprincipled
and complex". Larry Wall himself said (in print, no less):
English is useful because it is a mess. Since English is a
mess,
it maps well onto the problem space, which is also a mess,
which
we call reality. Similarly, Perl was designed to be a mess,
though in the nicest of all possible ways. -- Larry Wall

1. Perl 6 is not Perl.
2. Perl 6 is better designed language than D will ever be.
3. Perl 6 is complex, but not complicated. I think people
sometimes confuse the two.
4. D is a failed language, regardless of how people choose to
categorize its attributes.
