Oh man. I don't know what to say. In the process of trying to bust myths, this confirmed every practical concern that the "myths" actually express.
Perhaps the worst was: "Myth: Perl 6 will never be finished"
The author of this actually tried to argue against that "myth" by saying, "Perl 6 is defined as a set of test cases." and goes on to say that since the tests were written long ago Perl 6 is done, and has been since like, forever.
If that's the level of "Well, actually..." that this community uses, you can see why they've become irrelevant.

I LOVED Perl.
