Over on the TPF Fundraising article, there's a lot of discussion about TPF, Perl6, and whatnot. I'm surprised there are so many comments; it's an old discussion that has been going on for literally years, and everything that's been said has been said before, on all sides of the issues.
I've spent enough time, thought, air, and bytes on the issue already. So I'll hold my tongue on that discussion; one thing the world needs is less blather about Perl6, pro, con or otherwise. One thing is different, though. Allison said:
I guess the question for you is: would you personally be willing to take, say, 5 programmers from other companies out to lunch this year? Asking something along the lines of:No one is taking me out to lunch, but here are my answers anyway:
- How does Perl help you in your daily work?
- How could it help you better?
- If Perl is helping you, are there ways you could help Perl and other users of Perl?
