The apocalypses read like the tome of an advanced wizard making notes for himself in preparation for casting some earth-altering spell. And ya know, that's kind of what it is... But I assume that there will be room for apprentice wizards of varying degrees of skill to traffic in the tools of Perl 6 and get stuff done. *>I learned Perl 4 from its man page -- yes there *>was one long man page that completely described the entire language. Great, you read the man page, and you became a level 4 perl apprentice. Have you learned anything since reading that man page? Are you using perl 5? could you put everything you know about perl 5 into an equally sized man page document? perl 6 will be more complex than perl 5, but I think the philosophy is still the same, "perl is for getting your job done". I don't think anything's getting added unless it'll make it easier for someone to get their job done. It's just that some people need threads, types, class contracts, and multimethods to get their job done.
