Hi Damian,
This is a really good list. Mind if I copy it / modify it and post it
somewhere like my blog? One question:
* Compactness of expression + semi-infinite data structures:
@fib = 1,1...&[+] # The entire Fibonacci sequence
Very impressive. That's even shorter than Haskell. What's &[+] ? How
does this work? In Haskell:
fibs = 1 : 1 : zipWith (+) fibs (tail fibs)
PS: A really mean, but very effective, way of emphasizing the ease,
expressiveness, compactness, and readability of Perl 6 code is to
take each of the examples and show the same thing written in
Java. >;-)
It might be appropriate to compare some examples with Ruby or Python.
Daniel.
