This post sounds a bit like trolling :D<p>However, I believe the real power of Perl, besides the obviously awesome regex handling, is the &quot;huffmann&quot; principle of making common things super-quick. Sure this is the major cause of read-only code, but it&#x27;s also the reason why I use perl every time I just need things to be done.<p>In Perl6 they kept this principle in mind, and this is the important part IMHO.
