Gross generalisation though any such attempt at a single word summary is, I'd say that's nonetheless pretty true at least from the Perl side of things - the 21st century landscape of both the perl5 and perl6 communities is very much about people who consider themselves "Just Another Perl Hacker" - in that while we might be proud of our achievements, there's very little arrogance about our code itself. Of course the lack of "wow hey this is awesome look at me" is one of the key things leading us to need to learn more marketing as a community, but I'll take quiet pragmatism over loud arrogance any day as the primary mindset of the authors of the things I'm depending on in production.
