Oh, I do, and you've dismissed that argument out of hand. This isn't name-calling; this is a plea for Perl 6 not to become a language designed by a committee of ignorant amateurs. The Lord knows that languages designed by committees of professional standards-writers are pretty bad, and we're still a long way from that. -- A Law of Computer Programming: Make it possible for programmers to write in English and you will find that programmers cannot write in English.
