For the last couple weeks I've been experimenting with Perl6 because I
finally became sufficiently annoyed with Python's lack of real (No GIL)
threading and a quick inspection of the Perl6 feature list looked
promising. I'm trying to keep an open mind because Perl is pretty

Wait, quotes *are an operator* ? If so how would I define them? If the
operator returns string, what is the type of its argument? If so that's
even stranger -- most languages they're a hard coded bit of syntax -- the
closest thing I can think of is in C++11 you can add your own string
literal types
Lately I've been trying out new (to me) languages and one of the things I
keep running into is "fake" threading support, i.e. the threads are "real"
in the sense they can preempt one another and map to native OS threads, but
in practice they can't actually run at the same time so there is no

Being able to type the elements in containers was considered a major
problem in Java for years before they added generics. And the whole point
of having a computer is to have it do repetitive things, e.g. loop over a
bunch of stuff and do the same thing to all of it. How is this an
