That's exactly the playbook how they destroyed Perl6 then. They had the very same outspoken motto "Move fast and destroy things". They indeed do so very successfully, instead of fixing just the few outstanding bugs.

That's not what the OP said. He said, "Try things quickly, and abandon the ones that don't pan out." Nothing in there about destroying things that are working.

  I didn't say that. I said that you should not destroy things that dont work. You should rather fix it.

    Why? It's an idea you try to see if it has value. If it turns out not to have value, move on to something else.

      Indeed. Perl was destroyed, (also because of this fine slogan) so we moved on to Python or Ruby.
