Thank you. FWIW, I like to work with things that do what I want, without having to precisely understand how they do it.

I seem to recall that most of Moose is XS now?

FUD. Unicode keywords and operators in Perl 6 are optional . For each unicode version, an ASCII alternative is also available.

> perl a decent language for people from non-standard backgrounds I would argue "for any background". Why would you have to think like a computer to be able to program? Don't we have computers to do that?

FWIW, in Perl 6, keys to so-called "object hashes" can be objects without them being stringified. See https://docs.perl6.org/language/hashmap#index-entry-object_h...

And immutable? Aka, you could not create a DSL that would allow you to create other DSL inside of it?

I haven't really seen enough Python code in my life to have an opinion about readability of Python code in the wild. But I have seen quite a lot of unreadable (unminimized) Javascript code. In the end it really depends on how much t

To elaborate a bit on this: the 'use v5' project is pretty much dead at this point in time. (see also my open letter to the Perl community: https://www.perl.com/article/an-open-letter-to-the-perl-comm... ) T

I would say so, yes. For instance, basic object creation in Perl 6 is now faster than basic object creation in Perl 5. Both can be improved with some tricks that experienced developers know, such as not using accessors in Perl 5, but dire

You could argue that Perl 6's grammars are a complete transformation. Please see https://docs.perl6.org/language/grammar_tutorial for more information. Note that Perl 6's grammars are used to parse Perl

FWIW, in Perl 6 there is no real difference between a `map` and a `for` loop: in the case of the `for` loop, the final value of each iteration is simply discarded.

FWIW, in Perl 6, references do not exist at the language level. At the implementation level, you could argue that everything is passed by reference. Perhaps you may find https://opensource.com/article/18/8/c

Yes, and in a way it still is. The Inline::Perl5 ( https://modules.perl6.org/dist/Inline::Perl5:cpan:NINE ) module allows one to embed a Perl 5 interpreter in Perl 6 and transparently call Perl 5 functionality as if it w
