You&#x27;re right that it&#x27;s subjective, but I think it&#x27;s true to say that the most commonly appreciated programming language aesthetic has shifted since Perl 6 started to when it delivered. Back then many programmers appreciated the whimsical, pseudo natural-language nature of Perl. These days I don&#x27;t think that style is as fashionable amongst most programmers and purity and straight-forwardness is more appreciated. Perl 6 is going to lose out because of that.
