We hear the same argument in reverse that people should work on Perl 5
instead of Perl 6, as if the people who are working on Perl 6 would _of
course_ be working on Perl 5 if 6 didn't exist. There's no reason to think
this is true, and many reasons to think it's not. Many Perl 6 people never
contributed to Perl 5 the way they do with 6.
Maybe there are others that said that, but I have said something related and I
want to be more clear.
I wasn't attributing this idea to you. The idea that Perl 6 has drained
development resources from Perl 5 has come up many times over the years.
