Perhaps you could elaborate on the use of "oxymoron" here? Just checking, as you apparently do not know your "it's" from your "its". But seriously, why the bashing? Have you actually looked at the code

You might be interested in the work that Carl Mäsak is doing with 007 ( http://masak.github.io/007/ ). It is the playground for developing future versions of macros in Perl 6.

These are not excuses. These are facts. Whether the facts are excusable, I'm leaving for the reader to decide. One could argue that Perl 6 is the first version of Perl that wasn't rushed out, BTW.

At this point in time, I wouldn't recommend parsing files with a regex just yet. Parsing is indeed one of the few areas in Perl 6 that hasn't seen any specific optimizations yet. Where Perl 6 has seen a lot of work, is general
