It has been said that Ruby is Smalltalk with a perly syntax.
Perl6 extends on that: Perl 6 is Lisp with a perly syntax.
Interesting idea, but I would have loved to see some examples or comparisons. For all of the mindshare that Perl has, I haven't seen much content (especially code) about Perl 6 over the last couple of years.

- draegtun 16y agoYou're very welcome. This link may also be of interest: http://transfixedbutnotdead.com/2010/01/14/anyone-for-perl-6-metaprogramming/ http://transfixedbutnotdead.com/2010/01/14/anyone-for-perl-6... From the links in the post you can find Perl5, Ruby, Javascript and Python comparative examples. Been playing a bit with Io (http://www.iolanguage.com/ http://www.iolanguage.com/) recently so was planning to add a comparative post for that as well. Update: I just copied over my Io example i had brewing into a gist (http://gist.github.com/372559 http://gist.github.com/372559)
