All I see in this thread are a bunch of pre-modernists stuck in the middle of the 20th century. Perl 6 is the only language in the world suitable for metaphorical programming. For example, how would you implement a load-balanced pool of HTTP web servers over Port 80 in a language like Python, serving Hello World? In Perl 6 this is just five lines: imagine web servers, like the droplets of mists of fog as many as the sun shines through. A clarion: Hello world. The sun? An http server, its port 80. Cast off! I'll steer when I'm ready. And that's it. What's great about Perl is that you're not stuck with a nautical analogy, you are free to mix metaphors. For example this is another way to do the exact same thing: race, ye hogs of web servers the killing time is near. Your cries? Hello world. The abattoir? An http server, its port 80. Cast off! I'll steer ye when I'm ready. Even though it would hurt any poet's brain to read a metaphor this mixed, there's more than one way to do it, and this is really where Perl 6 shines.
