Really? perl6 looks quite good actually. I never thought of a 5.10.
But maybe they'll decide to dump XS in favor of Inline, so this might be 
5.10 then. But the whole 5.x architecture (refcounts, types) is a mess.

Of course there will arrive 20 new scheme/lisp's with all the features 
perl6 wants to have in the meantime, but perl is perl. :)
