I'm encouraged that this website looks this bad. We're in the last seizures before dying of Perl. Seriously, look around at the other options, they're all better. All of them. I'm so tired of this delusional community. Let Perl be legacy; turn the lights out.
OOC how many people would be interested in a Perl 6 Corporate Look n' Feel type site? Where everything is just designed to be boring and on message for production use in a business setting. Front page has Docker deployment and continuous integration setup steps etc. (that all exists and works FYI) Everything would be muted colours and mostly cloning the style of https://www.haskell.org/ or https://nodejs.org/en/ or e…
This reminds me of when jQuery had a cartoon ninja on their homepage. Am I seriously looking at a page targeted at grown adults with a talking butterfly on it?

The background being of a butterfly specimen display, realistic and in faint grey, and one of the butterflies in full colour with the label Perl 6. The other butterflies can even be labelled as other programming languages, like Perl 5 or C or whatever.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Also, 'spunky little sister' doesn't mean the same thing in the UK as the US...
Yeah that did occur to me too, but either way "spunky" is never a word I want to see when I'm reading about a programming language.

I want the language given a chance based on its merits, not dismissed because of a cartoonish site.
The biggest of the three big items remaining in Perl 6 development before GA has been completed, give or take. (The Great List Refactor) I'm not 100% sure of the status of the other two, but I think the Unicode stuff is also well on its way as well.
My prediction is that he will be announcing some kind of Perl 6 1.0 pre-release this evening.
Given that Perl 5 has been helping me pay my bills for the past 22 years, I'm more than a little excited!
