You still need to beat the Perl 6 release folks ;)
What PHP6 needs is **not** repeating the same old mistakes over and over again : 1. It should be developed without pressure, with quality being more important than schedule, or you expect the first PHP6 releases to be as buggy and broken as 5.0.x series do you ? 2. It should have the less possible BC breaks, otherwise it will end up in a much worse scenario than PHP5 is nowdays ( aka. a very small adoption after 4 years), yes , Unicode is a nice feature, but not everyone cares about that. ( I guess Europe and Asia does though) 3. pressure oever developers does not make any good, is disrespectul, specially when they are not getting paid to work.
