In Perl 6, I presume that means the same as:
[ $a, $b, $c ]

Likewise, this would be:
2+[test, test, test]
Which should be:
2+3
Assuming test returns a single value.

We hear ya. It's called C<;> enclosed in a C<do> block. I know, it's a
pain sometimes, but you just have to get used to it. I've stopped using
the scalar comma in Perl 5, and the code just I<feels> cleaner to me
now. I doubt we'll be getting an operator analogous to the C comma.
It's easy to write with a macro:
macro infix:then is looser(&infix:,) ($left, $right) {
return {
$left.run;
$right.run;
}
}
