I agree ten-thousand percent about libraries, which is part of why I think it'd be just peachy to have an Arc alpha. I think it's ridiculous to expect PG & co.

I agree ten-thousand percent about libraries, which is part of why I think it'd be just peachy to have an Arc alpha. I think it's ridiculous to expect PG & co. to be able to create a ton of libraries (or any) because they're doing so much work on the language. At least with an alpha, all of us excited kiddies can start poking around and filling in holes. Otherwise, we may all have to resign ourselves to the possibility that Perl 6 may actually release first ;)
