Fear: Perl 6 will not attract enough interested developers and
companies to gain momentum. People will continue to be excited about
digital watches and PHP 5.
I think Perl 6 will take time to insterest developers. One of the main
reasons is because it is taking too long (not blaming, just stating).
Another is because it will take too long to port all CPAN modules to
Perl 6 (for this I suggest a Porters force-task to interact with current
CPAN module owners and help and/or port their modules).
Meanwhile, I think Perl 6 includes some amazing features people are
waiting for. A lot of current perl hackers will love to start using it.
But stability is important, and companies will wait before using it.
I know you all know this, but I though it was good to state it again.
Cheers
