I want to avoid that fate, and to focus on things where I feel I will make a difference in the future, the way I feel I have, in the past, with Perl.

Thanks for all that you have given to (and given up for) Perl
Oh my, what else can I write? By my (possibly buggy) analysis of
perlhist.pod you've made as many maint releases of Perl as I have, but then
also cat herded seven .0 releases to my zero. I doubt that this is going
going to be surpassed (by any mortal human).
You're a much better language (re)designer than I am, brought a lot of
insight that I missed, and have way more patience and diplomacy than me.
Keep doing what you find fun, and please visit at some point.
(the where is not for publication, but the when is - the first half of the
month is always better as that's when the best brewery in town is open)
