[TCLCORE] Notes about Perl6 ideas - good to read

[Jeffrey H. <jef...@aj...>]

A Ruby user's perspective on the announced plans:

And a more Perl-oriented technical perspective:
	http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/07/perl6.html

These are good notes about planning for a major revision upgrade, most
notably that Perl6 plans to break compatability with Perl5, maintaining
upwards compatability only via a translation script (that won't guarantee
100% compatability).

Perhaps before we start to worry too much about the nearer term but not
ambitious 8.4, whoever becomes the future Tcl Core Team should focus on
Tcl9 and a plan to truly revitalize Tcl.
