I might have missed it, but does Conway concede at any point that there's anything he (or the Perl 6 development process) should've done differently, or better? From the interview, it seems that the last 10 years turned out as entirely as he was expecting and hoping, and that he has no regrets.
He's like: "Some people think Perl is dead ... but they're so wrong I won't even bother correcting their misconception."
Or: "It's taken 10 years ... but designing Python took 10 years as well, and since Python is popular, we'll be popular too."
Interesting that he's now giving a date for a Perl 6 release. (6-12 months.)
