That was a big part of it... I'm glad Mark posted the APL snippet
because it got me to finally read up on the language that's been at
the back of my mind. Plus it's useful for p6 language discussion. APL

No, the Capture on the right, although a Capture of Captures, will be

Before joining in the previous CPAN threads, here are some personal wish
lists regarding what the perl6 version of CPAN should do. But in order
to get some distance from CPAN, I want to call it the Module Library
system. Some of the debate threads impact on the internal software
environment,

Once a module has been decided on, you look to see if there is a
binary that matches your internal environment. If not, you have to
roll your own from source.
Why not have it generate the binary for you, and safe it for future
Dont think this is workable. If the local environment is non-standard,
requiring your own solution, then where would you store the binary? And
how would you inform future users sufficiently about the local
environment for them to access the binary.
Besides for most binaries, it is not really

Wow... That's a foldl! In a functional language, that would be
called a fold. It's very popular in Haskell.
I like that Perl 6 seems to be taking steps in the direction of
functional languages. First lazy lists (0..Inf) and now a fold. :-D

Note that of the examples given, only Perl 6 and Common Lisp do two
things
that help immensely simplify the result:
1. reference the built-in * operator directly, without having to
wrap it in

What I'm wondering is how the list knows to feed two items into '[+]'.
While 'infix:+' must accept exactly two arguments, '[+]' can accept
an arbitrarily long (or short) list of arguments.
I thought that at first too, then remembered a discussion

Bravo.
If you can't type that, you won't find it useful!
