I hope these things are explained well in the upcoming books. Me, a seasoned Perl 5 programmer that doesn't participate much in the Perl 6 community find these things a bit strange and visually a turnoff if you get what I mean. Also angle brackets usage no auto quoting was something I remember not liking too much. Note that this has more to do with familiarity and syntax than the new features etc. I very much hope for a "Java killer" in the Perl family but that means performance must be a first priority. Thanks for explaining, at least I can view examples with a little more understanding of the syntax choices going forward.
