@ChristosArgyrop @slott56 @Perl @adamcrussell I think a #Perl7 release needs true *game* changes to change minds, like `use feature 'class'` (a/k/a #Corinna, initial PR by @leonerd opened last week: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/20647), plus smaller accepted features with sane defaults: https://perldoc.perl.org/functions/use#use-VERSION
Building and showing off great #Perl drives interest and a cycle of others doing likewise. Fashion is a secondary effect.
