I think that people have sort of got used to the fact that Perl 6 is
not going to look quite as much like perl5 as they thought it was going
to. Either that or they've all buggered off...
Personally I'm loving it. The small changes in the syntax are all
coming together to give us something that's going to be far easier to
parse (and therefore far easier to mess with syntacticly, which is
what excites me; I've long had the mathematician's view that stuff
becomes so much easier when you have the right notation. A more
mutable perl means that I build myself the right notation and then
solve the problem -- I want to invent my own syntactic sugar if that
makes sense...)
