I was worried about Perl 6 in the past because I thought it would suck developer time away from Perl 5 and lead the Perl community down a dead-end. I am no longer worried now that I see the excellent work still being done by the Perl 5 community.

I'm confident that Perl 5 will continue to thrive and be developed by excellent people like Jesse Vincent. As for Perl 6's future, I believe it's as bright as PHP 6's future, but that's just my opinion... we'll have to wait and see.
