Perl5 > Perl6

Perl6 will *never* come out fully functional and it will *never* run faster than Perl5. The idiots who took over development of Perl and pushed the whole Perl6 scheme are too stupid to realize that they cant follow in javas footsteps with the 'virtual machine' crap. Perl5 > Perl6. Parrot was supposed to be a joke where it was a vm that runs both python and perl code. Some idiot took it upon themselves to take it seriously.

There are serious improvements to Rakudo's speed which haven't been merged yet. At the moment Niecza (on CLR) is faster than Rakudo.

Perl 5 and Python also compile internally to bytecodeIHBT

Hey, it's only been 10 years and we already have half the operators working! Not at usable speeds yet, but!

You want to make fun of Perl 6? Here's some fuel for the fire: return raises an exception.

What's stopping you from implementing the language in C?
Hurry, off you go to the ^{S^{T^D}}!

return considered harmful. Use an operator or implicit return instead.

With the absence of leave in Rakudo you sometimes have to use implicit return in lambdas.

Yes, I was supporting the claim in >>9. Not every comment is an argument! Please remain calm!

Speaking of type shenanigans:
sub postfix:<π>($x) { $x * pi; }
