Hi Bill,
a) The documentation about semicolons in contexts that call for Arrays
or Lists is very sparse and *should* be improved.
This can best be done by raising an issue on https://github.com/perl6/doc
If you would do this it would help the community.
b) You have said that the

Thank you yary.
I'm not sure we've seen any clarification on this. There's a reference to
"Literal Lists" in the Perl 6 docs that looks related, but I don't have a
"plain-speak" explanation for how semicolons, lists, push() and arrays
inter-relate.

Hello Richard and thank you for your comment,
I'm not sure I have clarity on the use of semicolons in Perl 6. Most
references in the documentation refer to the semicolon as a statement
separator. Many references point out where semicolons are optional
(e.g. particular lines within blocks).
Now
Thank you, yary.
I'm not that familiar with PDL data structures, although they look
interesting. Arrays in R are pretty straight-forward.

Looks like perl6 semicolon has different meaning in a list vs a capture. In

Just in case it wasn't clear from Bill's discussion, I think the
reason this case seems weird is normally we expect trailing separators
to be ignored, as with the extra comma here:

[ghidora mothera wolfman zuckerberg]

Great, now I'm trouble finding semicolon examples in PDL, too.
(Bill: PDL is the "perl data language", a perl5 descendent of
stuff like Matlab, which you'd probably recognize as being a bit
like R.)
Larry Wall does discuss this stuff in the 9th Synopsis (one
of the original design documents,
I don't know much about PDL (the Perl Data Lanuage) but I do remember that
the semicolon as a "higher-level" array separator in P6 is a nod to PDL. It
is a bit of stub feature until someone needs it and specs out, prototypes
more of that data-slicing style. It's likely under-documented due to that
A semicolon is the syntax used for multidimensional arrays.
