Looking at https://docs.perl6.org/language/variables there are 4
variable types with sigil: $, @, %, &.
In Perl 5 I used to call them scalar, array, hash, and function
respectively, even if the scalar variable had a reference to an array
in it.
How do you call them in Perl 6?
As I understand @ a
It also seems to me that 'scalar' gives the wrong impression compared to
arrays. A scalar in a vector is a component of a vector.
I was thinking of "generic".
Hence "$variable" is a generic variable because it can hold any type of
content.
