Last night (at least here in Italy) I asked a question about Perl 6, I hope TimToady won't sue me for reporting it here :) (Note: I eliminated a comment by Limbic~Region from the original log, that referred to another thread of discussion).
apr 19 01:22:02I'm not asking for dates! what percentage of Perl 6 specs definition do you think we (well... you) are at? apr 19 01:22:56we're well past the first 80% and well into the second 80%. :) apr 19 01:23:52 nice answer, and I suspect it also represents the reality quite well :) apr 19 01:23:56 in other words, most of the important stuff is done, and much of what remains is a protracted negotiation between the current design and the implementors apr 19 01:24:26 with assorted input from educators and users apr 19 01:25:29 plus a gentle undercurrent of "keep everything else the same as Perl 5"
