I didn't dismiss it for that reason. I wanted to like Perl 6, but dismissed it because last time I tried learning it:

* it seemed to include too much syntax

* too much lingo required to understand core concepts

* no coherently-written definitive tutorial. No Camel book for that matte.

* most examples seem to be written with maximum quirky-ness to show off the acrobatics you can do. I just want to get work done.
