Well, fair enough if that's the case but I wish the perl community would be consistent. Anytime someone jokes about perl 6 not being usable, someone (often chromatic!) comes out and says "it's usable now, you're talking nonsense".
And if it's truly a different language then you should change the name. Racket did it. And then you would have room to eventually have a version 6 of perl (what you call perl5 now).
Quite a few people want to change its name, but Larry doesn't want to and short of kidnapping him and tieing him up in a basement with some sketchy figures in robes and bandanas there's not much we can do on that front.
And well, it is usable as in, you can write software with it. It's just not commercially usable or complete.
