The proposed defaults are a good idea, and I hope some or most of 5.32 long standing experimental features become core features (or just go away entirely). But

The proposed defaults are a good idea, and I hope some or most of 5.32 long standing experimental features become core features (or just go away entirely). But I'm afraid that the badly needed core C code refactoring and restructuring is being left out, and that will make it very hard to introduce new features into the language. I also had this secret hope that Perl 7 would be a tidier, simplified Perl 5 with little or no relation to Perl 6. Less confusing syntax would go in sync with the refactoring of the core to create a smaller language that could perform better and be easier for beginners to learn.
