Damian Conway On Perl 6 and the Philosophy of Programming 132
M-Saunders writes: Perl 6 has been in development since 2000. So why, 14 years later, hasn't it been released yet? Linux Voice caught up with Damian Conway, one of the architects of Perl 6, to find out what's happening.

Conway also talks about the UK's Year of Code project, and how to get more people interested in programming.
