I love Perl 5, but we're developing curriculum materials to help get kids and teens involved in learning Perl 6 coding. My rationale is that the "fixes" to the language will be worth it for people starting new with coding. The Perl community needs to nurture new interest, but most people experienced with UNIX and Linux get around to discovering Perl eventually. :-) It would be nice to see more paths to be exposed to Perl 6 early on!
