There's nothing you can do that can't be done nothing you can sing that can't be sung nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game it's easy. There's nothing you can make that can't be made no one you can save that can't be saved nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time it's easy. There's nothing you can know that isn't known nothing you can see that isn't shown nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be it's easy. All you need is love all you need is love all you need is love love love is all you need. --Beatles - All You Need Is Love
Some need gold and some need diamond rings Or a drug to take away the pain that living brings A promise of a better world to come When whatever here is done ... There's a house upon a distant hill Where you can hear the laughter of children ring Guardian angels, they watch from above Watching over the love that they bring But at night I feel the darkness near ... --Bruce Springsteen, Happy
What about sunrise What about rain What about all the things That you said we were to gain.. . What about killing fields Is there a time What about all the things That you said was yours and mine... Did you ever stop to notice All the blood we've shed before Did you ever stop to notice The crying Earth the weeping shores? What have we done to the world Look what we've done What about all the peace That you pledge your only son... What about flowering fields Is there a time What about all the dreams That you said was yours and mine... Did you ever stop to notice All the children dead from war Did you ever stop to notice The crying Earth the weeping shores I used to dream I used to glance beyond the stars Now I don't know where we are Although I know we've drifted far Hey, what about yesterday (What about us) What about the seas (What about us) The heavens are falling down (What about us) I can't even breathe (What about us) What about the bleeding Earth (What about us) Can't we feel its wounds (What about us) What about nature's worth (ooo,ooo) It's our planet's womb (What about us) What about animals (What about it) We've turned kingdoms to dust (What about us) What about elephants (What about us) Have we lost their trust (What about us) What about crying whales (What about us) We're ravaging the seas (What about us) What about forest trails (ooo, ooo) Burnt despite our pleas (What about us) What about the holy land (What about it) Torn apart by creed (What about us) What about the common man (What about us) Can't we set him free (What about us) What about children dying (What about us) Can't you hear them cry (What about us) Where did we go wrong (ooo, ooo) Someone tell me why (What about us) What about babies (What about it) What about the days (What about us) What about all their joy (What about us) What about the man (What about us) What about the crying man (What about us) What about Abraham (What was us) What about death again (ooo, ooo) Do we give a damn --Michael Jackson - Earth song

We hope that Perl6 will make Perl even more insanely great,
without making it even more greatly insane.

Life it seems, will fade away Drifting further every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things are not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly lost, this can't be real Cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filing me To the point of agony Growing darkness taking dawn I was me, but now He's gone No one but me can save myself, but it's too late Now I can't think, think why I should even try Yesterday seems as though it never existed Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye --Metallica - Fade To Black
Suppose I were to tell you that the meaning of dreams is not all that it seems and the ultimate truth is a lie. And you are just a puppet who can dance on a string. Do you feel anything? Would you laugh? Would you care? Would you cry? So if you are confused and don't know which way to go. You will certainly know. From the moment we're living we die. And if it's all a crazy game you don't want to play Tell me what can you say. It's a joke. It's the truth. It's a lie. But the meaning of life is a mystery, how can anyone disagree? And the music of life is a symphony which we play in a minor key. But the meaning of life is a mystery that we don't understand so far. And the music of life is a rhapsody if you're happy the way that you are. And the meaning of life is a mystery though we live it from day to day. But the music of live should be harmony so that anyone here can play. I am a mirror. I am a mirror. Looking at me you see yourself I am a mirror. I am a mirror. Every face is someone else. Look at me smile and you're the clown. And if I dance you turn around. Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears. --Alan Parsons Project - I am a Mirror
Bad is bad That I feel so sad It's time, it's time That I found peace of mind, Ooh-Ooh What can I do 'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue --Los Bravos - Black Is Black

All I meant by "we" is "we as a Perl Monks Community". Is this such a bad thing?
I find inappropriate pluralization infantilizing in general.
In technical contexts, I find it most often used by people who want to tell other people what to do without doing anything themselves.
If that's not you, great! Build such an application. I'd like to see it. You have all the permission you need: a computer and programming skills. Just about everything you see on this site or in the Perl community has come from people who built things they wanted to build. Go and do the same.
