Yeah but I think they have a point. As a former Perl user and current Python convert I do think the mistake was to call Perl 6 Perl.

It gave me at least a false sense of thinking Perl 5 was done and going to be replaced.

At the same time I found Python to be much easier to write, maintain and I became attached to the structure that PEP provided.

There were a lot of other factors that made me switch, but that particular point of not calling Perl 6 Perl made me think.
