At my job, we're relatively optimistic about Perl 7, and will probably be willing to move over a few months after a stable release. Yes, it's a mature product with 3 million lines, but the requirements are easily to meet if we make a modern product. Not doing indirect method calls? Most of those are gone years ago, and for good reason.
On the other hand, I'm a bit worried about Cor; it feels like Ovid is trying to repeat in a few months the same work that TimToady took a few years to do. A good object model is nontrivial, and it feels a little rushed to meet an arbitrary deadline. And I generally feel that Moose syntax is not that great, and it's making a lot of the same mistakes. Maybe I'm not the target audience for this.
