(Perl 6 is here: Part 4 ) *Jonathan Worthington* Lead Dev of Rakudo Perl 6 and founder&architect of MoarVM [appearing via tape delay] "Parallelism and concurrency are different, though often confused. Asynchrony adds yet another concept into the mix. And there are dozens of different approaches to working with these concepts.

And, since I've been working on the Perl 6 parallelism and concurrency features, I'll show how these solutions look in Perl 6." ... and any comments from anyone who's downloaded it and messed with it since Sixmas ....
