Perl 6 is still "Perlish", in the sense of TIMTOWTDI and DWIMmy-ness. However, after playing around with Perl 6 a little bit, I'm not convinced that it keeps Perl 5's practical simplicity.

I suspect that there's a whole crowd of Perl 5 lovers who just want something practical and simple -- they want a cleaned-up Perl 5 -- and they're scratching their heads wondering why the 6ers are spending so much time working on advanced features.
