Amen for breaking backwards compatibility. Needs to happen soon so the CRUFT can be cut out of JEE.



I see the appeal but... Python's long, slow march to widespread adoption of 3.x, and Perl 6's much less successful experience, both suggest there would be a lot of danger in that.


Yep; I'd rather just have Perl5 on Parrot than have to relearn Perl.

Not to mention that the O'Reilly book for Perl6+Parrot doesn't have a parrot, or even a camel. Deal-breaker right there ;)
