Geez Louise Bradley! The above is a really bad argument!
"perldocs -f xxx" is a bazillion times easier to understand
than Perl 6's manual, regardless if you know Perl 5 or not.
Hey, thanks. The (admittedly not so many) people working (on a purely
volunteer basis, mostly) on the Perl 6 documentation are grateful for
this general appreciation of our work.
And, by the way, I wonder just how may are coming to Perl 6
without ANY Perl 5 experience?
Around 30%, according to the survey. That's not written in stone,
however, and might (and will) change in the future.
In every instance I can look up, perldocs puts Perl 6's
documentation to shame.
Again, thanks. We'll stand here, quietly, waiting for the tar and
feathers to fall on us.
Cheers

Hi JJ,
It is all part of Kaisen (constant improvement). I am
volunteering my very scarce time too.
My apologies if my blunt description of the problem is
offensive in any way.
And yes, perldocs had a lot of year of Kaisen behind it.

Do you prefer chicken feather or pigeon feathers?
