Also, here is a set of slides about the rakudo implementation of perl 6:
http://www.pmichaud.com/2008/pres/oscon-rakudo/slides/slide1.html
They are actually doing some pretty cool stuff in perl 6 such as taking
some key ideas from the functional programming world such as lazy
evaluation. I also like the fact that rakudo runs on the parrot
interpreter. A general purpose bytecode interpreter that you can compile
your preferred language to sounds like a very good idea. Sort of a like
what the java virtual machine was supposed to be but using modern
techniques and less corporate meddling.
