I've already head this conversation at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1377077 about Moose. Moose is good, but it's not that good, and certainly not nearly enough to make up for the terrible language underpinning it.

I think its "good enough" to tempt people to use Perl.

OMG!!! I actually maintain J code!! There are, like, 10 of us in the whole universe.

I think more people speak Quileute than still use J (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quileute_language)... for good reason ...

Since you don't seem to consider the best OO system around a part of the language, I assume you are a functional fanatic?
