The Perl 6 Summary for the week ending 2004-03-28
... and we're back! Another interesting week in Perl 6. Your Summarizer
even wrote some [parrot] code and it's been simply ages since he did
that. In accordance with ancient custom, we'll start the summary with
perl6-internals.

I think the ¥(yen) suggestion is great, especially since it does indeed
look like a zipper. Still, I would very much like an ASCII infix
alternative for zip().
I propose z as the ASCII alternative for the infix zip operator (either
broken bar or yen).

You'll really confuse the deep functional programmers if you do that,
for whom the term 'Y operator' means something very different
Probably, but is that a good reason to not use it?
Many Perl 6 things will already really confuse Perl 5
