Summary

In this quote, the creator of Perl programming language, Larry Wall, discusses his intention to make Perl 6 a community design. He explains that Perl, which he himself designed, was bounded by his own intellectual capacity. To counter this limitation, he wanted Perl 6 to be a collaborative effort involving the community. This decision stemmed from the belief that including diverse perspectives and multiple contributors would result in a more powerful and inclusive programming language. By emphasizing community involvement, Wall aimed to create a platform that exceeded his personal capabilities and catered to the evolving needs and ideas of the broader programming community.

Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really merely commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the planning, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chain of events, working through generations and leading to the most outer results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.
