Thanks for detailed response. After a quick reading, I admit Perl 6 grammars and slang look amazing. Appears to give the language a LISP-like flexibility for creating DSL's.
I discovered that Perl 6 Supply is basically the same as Streams/Sequences which is great for handling async activities and work units.
Also discovered that perl 6 has optional typing. This is terrific since it makes for better maintenance and refactoring tools possible.
I do hope the performance improves! There are so many competitive languages for the backend today that without excellent performance, memory management and scaling characteristics, it is difficult for any new language to gain traction just on features alone.
