Some of this looks great. I'm suffering through making some internal tools an old version of php after deprecating some older perl 5 cgi scripts on an even older CentOS box, and reaaally not enjoying it. I understand the value of coding in other texts, but I still get a little squicked out seeing the characters for pi, and union, etc in code. I know they have ascii equivalents, but its not saving a keystroke, exactly. Though, it does remind me of some joker Swift posts where the identifiers were all emoji's. I'd keep interns away from it for now. The built-in grammar parser looks great! C-lib integration looks promising. Multi-methods look nice. Operator overloads look ... safe-ish-er than C++. Simpler profiling. Perl5 module + other language in-lining looks great and terrible. "Whatever" wildcards don't quite seem like full pattern-matching, but better than $_ or endless shift loops. Overall, seems pretty good! If I can just drop it in for my "perl -lne 'm|($regex)|g&&print$1'" command-line use I might swap it out sooner than later.
