Perl 5 is still as fun as ever. And newer things like Mojolicious keeps adding to the goodness.

Yes, Perl 5 is still fun, but I really like the chaining and FP in Perl 6, much like autobox but native. And native sets, rational number math instead of floating point math, the ability to use huge numbers without BigNum and lots of other awesoneness.
