To me the most interesting thing about Perl 6, should it ever be
released, is that (AFAIK) it has built-in support for swapping in new
parsers at runtime. This has intriguing implications for DSLs.

Oh yes but there are many many others. Maybe too many 
It immediately struck me when I read the Apocalypsis that writting
Perl6 code will be fun...
.... and reading Perl6 code written by others might just be hell.

Maybe when Perl 6 comes out, a yearly Perl Readability Contest will start,
being of course the challenge to write the most readable Perl code!

By the way, my sig below is chosen randomly. You can blame my Perl sig

I mentioned my theory at the last local ruby brigade get together that
the great thing about programming languages is that there are so many
of then that anyone can find at least a half-dozen or so that he can
hate without trying too hard. 
Personally I just wonder, like Rodney King, "Why can't we just all get along?"

Ben Franklin: "As we enjoy great Advantages from the Inventions of
others we should be glad of an Opportunity to serve others by any
Invention of ours, and this we should do freely and generously."
My theory on this is that programmers don't know where they end and
the language begins. If you're doing something interesting and
challenging, the language won't matter. (Of course, I've been working
exclusively with Ruby almost from the moment I discovered it, so I
could just be completely full of BS there.)

No, Arc's niche is that it will be the only language that's *never* released.

No I do not think so;), just that you are exaggerating on a valid point.
Of course I would prefer to write lots of Java for an interesting
project working with good people and as a side remark our Java code
might become pretty pretty ;), rather to work on a dull project in
Ruby.
However when I can chose the language for the project than I will not
hesitate to take Ruby.
Both cases are extremes of course.
Cheers

I have an entire lightning rant on that topic. I have a strong dislike for "Foo Developer" as a job title (Foo == Perl/Ruby/Lisp/whatever). It's limiting.

. . . and you think Duke Nukem Forever *will* be released? I'd think
the name -- Forever -- would be a clue.
