They are not working on perl 5, neither a perl 7. The biggest excitement might be the design of their new object system. But if you look at it and compare it to the design of their OO designed in 2002 (for their perl 6) it's a serious throwback. not even talking about their inability of a proper implementation.

in the meantime I've implemented that, plus types, plus proper signatures, plus unchecked arrays when safe, plus an integrated ffi plus tons more features.

their is no development, only maintainance. plus lot of internal fights. plus a CoC, which was used to eliminate the only remaining developer, because he dared to critice the stakeholders which blocked progress, and still continue to make the codebase worse.

the less the work, the more the fights.
