Perl6 is absolutely a new language. Perl 5 had so many structural problems it was deemed unlikely they&#x27;d be solved. Since then however lots of hard work has been done on every side.<p>The biggest problem about Python is not the superiority of 2.7, it&#x27;s the hubris of the Python community to think that 2.7 is actually that great.<p>I would send <i>any</i> Python programmer on a course of writing Golang and Perl 6 and I would put money on the line they would come out a better programmer. That&#x27;s what I feel happened to me to some extent.
