Maybe my (mis)understanding from Larry is that Perl 6 will provide a jumping
off platform into better language non-specific things that we may not see at
this time, but things that will become apparent as we start actually using
the new version.
Like being able to write XS in other languages for integration into Perl.
I for one don't understand Larry half the time, but I believe that is part
of him being a genius.
Hell, how long did 'People' moan and groan about Perl 4? (I don't know, I
wasn't aware of Perl until Perl 5 was already out...)
Cheers :)
