“…the highlight of the evening was Simon Cozens’s first public demonstration of Parrot, the new virtual computer that will one day run Perl 6. After he’d finished the talk we expected, he pulled a crumpled piece of paper from a secret pocket. This, he whispered, was an early draft of Apocalypse 3 which he’d smuggled out at great personal risk from under the very noses of the Design Team. An expectant hush fell as he proceeded to reveal the highlights. The reception his heroic effort received was… low key.” From perl.com.
