This is just to let everybody know that I will be unsubscribing from
p6-lang for the foreseeable future, effective immediately.

I deeply regret that I simply no longer have the time to cope with the
volume of messages being generated here. Unfortunately, the exigencies of
finding paying work in this woeful economic climate, and the demands of
actually moving ahead with the design and implementation of Perl 6 must take
priority.

I will, of course, still read Piers' excellent summaries, but otherwise
I won't be monitoring the list at all from here on. It is likely that I
will start reading again after A6 and E6 are released.

All the best,

Damian

I too will be leaving this list, as I'm concerned that my recent
enthusiasm has at least contributed to Damian's withdrawal. Since
there's not much I can do on the library front at this stage anyway, I'm
off to work on sand. Good luck all!

I, and I'm sure the rest of the list, am sorry to see you go. Best of
luck with the job hunt and the serious design work.

(I swear, this is the last message I'm sending you from the list! ;^) )

Sorry for uninformedness, but what is "A6" and "E6" ? Any versioning of
p6 dev releases ?

Ahhh.. .then it is good news that damian is off for some time to work on
A6 to E6. Silly me, thought it would be another language which he is now
working on ;) like P6, but A6 and E6 !

Thx thx,
Murat

I've deputized Luke Palmer as a design team proxy. He'll be keeping an
eye on the list and sending us good ideas. A huge number of features
have been added and improved here on this list. We don't want to lose
that input. We just have to change the information flow to cope with
changing circustances.

We're having another round of face-to-face design meetings this week, so
you can expect some interesting bits to come out over the next month.

Thanks go to everybody. We couldn't do this without you.

Allison
