I don&#x27;t see hatred in this discussion. I see lots of puzzlement and confusion though. This might be because the article doesn&#x27;t really accomplish what the title promises as the features and examples given don&#x27;t feel compelling to most of the people in this discussion.<p>I don&#x27;t know if Perl programmers have been separated from the other scripting languages too much as not to understand that there are different mindsets out there.<p>Perl has always been quite a confusing language if you only skimmed it (lots of incoherent features and more than one way to do it), so I find it natural that Perl6 isn&#x27;t any better.<p>But if you don&#x27;t explain the confusing features of a language well enough, puzzlement and confusion is what you get.
