Fairly early in the life of Perl6 it was basically decided there wasn't going to be a transition. Not like the Python one at least. Also I've heard about projects that transitioned from Python2 right to Go. (The way it sounded, it was easier for them than transitioning to Python3.) --- Perl6 isn't trying to replace any language. Why does everyone think this has to be a zero-sum game? C++ didn't replace C. D and C# didn't replace C++ or C. Ruby didn't replace Perl. C didn't even replace Assembly. There is a long list of languages that didn't replace other languages. I mean even Cobol is still an actively used language. --- Also I think it is dumb that Python didn't copy Perl and make all of those changes work in a backward compatible way. (I have yet to see a change in Python3 that isn't reminiscent of one I've seen in Perl5.)
