"Python is what Perl should have been."
The Perl6 team are currently redesigning the base language and they aren't making it look like Python.
This is a surprise? Betting on a tiger becoming spotted is not a good bet.
Exactly. Nothing wrong with the tiger. Stripes work for a lot of things. So the quote is garbage.
Have you run into a situation where there is no appropriate module for Python but there is for Perl? Of course such situations are possible, but I wonder how often they occur?
From what I'm reading about Perl6 development, it is to be based on the "parrot engine", which will allow incorporation of python code seemlessly into perl6 scripts. That would make Perl6 more of a mongoose, than a tiger. :-)
