ROTFLMAO! It'll wither some time after the last COBOL program is retired... and definitely after java dies with a stake through its heart.
Yeah - that is kind of funny, especially for sysadmin type work. And by the way, there is a usable Perl 6 implimentation released, for some definitions of usable: http://rakudo.org/. But, I'm not sure there's a good reason to move away from perl 5.
