Hi,
This is an idea that originated in #perl6 during a discussion with slavik (
http://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2010-01-17#i_1907093). The goal is to allow
Perl 6 source code to be written in natural languages other than English.
The motivation would be to make programming accessible to a lot of
If Perl 5 can support
Lingua::Romana::Perligatahttp://www.csse.monash.edu.au/%7Edamian/papers/HTML/Perligata.htmland
let you type
benedictum factori sic mori cis classum.
instead of
bless sub{die}, $class;

I should point out that I've had a great deal of coffee. The technical
details of what I've said are reasonable, but read the rest as off-the-cuff
opinion.
It's also true that seeing how Perl 6 would look/work when re-cast in the
grammatical conventions of another human language would be very
Another thing to consider is that Perl 6 is symbol-heavy: that is, keywords
are often symbols (such as , =, or $_) rather than words. AFAIK, those
symbols are not English, and I would not expect them to change under a
natural language transformation of the setting. And to elaborate on Aaron's
