What people say. Recommended as a fascinating historical interview detailing the long development and implementation journey of Perl 6.

On “Announcing Perl 7”

It's a long, fascinating story that's detailed in this FLOSS weekly interview: link to this video though that only brings you up to 9 years ago. But AFAIK there wasn't nearly as much implementation churn in the years since then. And they got to a 1.0 release with v6.c (c for Christmas) in 2015.
