Although REPL really provide greate help for people to get start in learning a new language, I don't think we should call the REPL a language feature. It's just a implementation feature. I believe one can easily add a REPL for perl5(anyone here did?). I would vote for the concurrency feature and the so called built-in OO. By the way, can I have a chance to watch this talk? Would it be uploaded to Youtube in the future ? thanks, ruan > On 8/20/16, Elizabeth Mattijsen <l...@dijkmat.nl> wrote: > > > >> On 20 Aug 2016, at 22:14, Tony Edwardson <tony.edward...@gmail.com> > >> wrote: > >> In a few weeks I will be presenting a talk on a technical meeting for > >> Milton Keynes Perl Mongers and I have decided to try and sell the benefits > >> of Perl 6 to a bunch of Perl 5 experts. > >> I am interested in your opinion on which of the many features of Perl 6 > >> are the main reasons why anyone would migrate to Perl 6 from Perl 5. > >> Any opinions greatly appreciated. > > > > This is the text of the most up-to-date version of the Perl 6 Brochure that > > Wendy made: > > > > https://wendyga.wordpress.com/2015/12/25/why-would-you-want-to-use-perl-6-some-answers/ > > > > Hope that helps :-) > > > > > > Liz
