(I just asked on stackoverflow, but I'l try here again:) Given that Rakudo VM is JVM based, I expected that there's some interoperability layer for the host JVM, but could not find anything. Does someone know whether this is possible?

Given that Rakudo VM is JVM based The JVM is just one of the backends, but it's fallen a bit by the wayside during the current effort to get 6.0 out on MoarVM. I expected that there's some interoperability layer for the host JVM There is, but I'm unaware of proper documentation. For now, you might want to take a look at https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/t/03-jvm/01-interop.t https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/t/03-jvm/01-intero...

  Ah, thanks for clearing this up!

Rakudo isn't JVM "based", but the JVM is one VM that it targets (also MoarVM, and Parrot. I imagine at some point the .Net CLR will be added). That said, take a look at this[1]. 1: https://perl6advent.wordpress.com/2013/12/03/day-03-rakudo-perl-6-on-the-jvm/ https://perl6advent.wordpress.com/2013/12/03/day-03-rakudo-p...

  There was Parrot support, but AFAIK its been dead since February.

    Fair enough. I struggled with how to denote my uncertainty with Parrot's status without implying it was deprecated if it wasn't, so I settled with just including it without any qualifiers.

    It is not dead, it is just resting.
