I know. But where would we put Perl 6 onto a range of programming languages parrallel to rockets ranging from fireworks to the Ariane 5?
Do you assume Perl 6 will replace Ada or subsets of it like SPARK-Ada? The conclusion of the article is exactly my point: preparing for handling your own errors. This is not directly the task of the underlying language. It has to provide the means though. And I agree that the idea is to confine errors and not propagate them. But that is more the task of catch blocks then undef values. --
