Are you serious? Other stuff had me slightly concerned; then Apocalypse 5 gave me the reason I want to play with Perl6 and a huge reason to believe Perl6 will be earth shaking. There is stuff being added that's hard to follow, but I thought that the traits/roles material in particular is exceptionally cool stuff. Someone needed to refactor the OO world, just like the regex world was due for a refactoring, and I think this team has managed to pick the right direction.
There'll no doubt be things I won't like about Perl6. But by and large, I see some incredibly cool stuff coming down the line. Perl5 is not perfect modulo warts; I have more than a few annoyances with the language. It's just far less sucky than the other stuff that's about.
I don't know. If you don't like Perl6, you can stick with Perl5. Noone's forcing you to play with the cool toys. :-) But I'm pretty sure Perl6 will soon after its appearance make Perl5 feel as ancient and rustic as Perl4 seems to us nowadays.
