Answer: You can hardly require a realistic answer to that question because you won't know until you do. Jeez, you'd think this was a contentious issue ;) Who cares? Why not add a [EMAIL PROTECTED] alias instead of taking perl6-internals away? What is lost with an alias gained? A rose by any other name is still a rose. If Ask is willing, why not have him put it on the TODO list? Reducing the number of times people are forced to see the word "Parrot" tied together with "Perl" would be conducive to weakening that "tight little club" mentality. Anyone disagree with that? It seems like a no brainer. Even if it is just a language neutral symbol. Hell, if you really want parrot to be dynamic language neutral, then Dan and Jeff ought to be wooing Python and Ruby internals gurus for the job of Parrot heir apparent. Anything less than that is empty words and promises. It is pretty evident that in the current state of affairs all other languages are second class citizens. But it would be nice to see the door to the club house opened a little wider. -- Garrett Goebel IS Development Specialist ScriptPro Direct: 913.403.5261 5828 Reeds Road Main: 913.384.1008 Mission, KS 66202 Fax: 913.384.2180 www.scriptpro.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
