Python 2/3 versus Perl 5/6

[Sayth]

Perl 6 tried to acheive to much, and by delay and confusion lost the enthusiasm of the community behind it Perl 6 and the at that time robust Perl 5 community who saw it as the future, when that future waned so did their's. 

Perl 6 should have just done what the community wanted at that time, introduce class::mop for a proper oop implementation abs tidy a few edge cases and pull in a few key modules into core.

They would now be talking Perl 7 and how to implement functional design into the new release with a larger community.

It would be interesting to see how Ruby would have progressed of Perl hadn't stuffed progress up so badly. To me Ruby has always looked like a tidy Perl.
