To be clear, this was NOT written by Larry Wall. It was written by Will "the Chill" Braswell, author of a perl fork called `RPerl.`

He is not speaking for the general Perl community

Thanks for clarifying. The presentation is a bit misleading then-- it has Larry's picture & name at the top, looking like a byline, and I don't see any other obvious author except at the very bottoms where two people are listed as "endorsements"

Will Brasswell has a long history of appropriating other peoples images / volunteering other people, even to the point of submitting talk proposals for people at conferences without their knowledge or consent.

I've asked him to remove all mentions of Raku on his site (as Raku is no longer part of the Perl future), but he has refused to do so.

It's http://perl11.org all over again, but with improved graphics and UI. But it's still the same sour wine.
