I still use OS 9 :) (Score:2)

Why not wait until Perl6 is a reality to worry? There are *plenty* of people still using OS 9 though, for obvious reasons, development has mostly ceased on a dated platform. There are plenty of others things to worry about now :)

  Well, I am not sitting in the corner wringing my hands in agnoy over it. But yes, I knew that people would say "wait and worry about it when it happens". But I feel that we should start thinking about it before it happens ... not necessarily doing anything about it, beyond thinking about it. If we wait too long to be aware of the issues involved with the fracturing of the community, I think it will be too late.

    If the community fractures, Perl6 will not be the cause of it.
