What do you think is the single most important feature of Perl 6?
I personally believe that chromatic knows better, so I'm pillaging him:
- lexically malleable grammars
- the default grammar
- continuations
- co-routines
- generators
- hyperoperators
- multiple dispatch
- multiple simultaneous versions of the same module existing in process
- STM
- hypothetical variables
My personal (humourous) addition:
- its ability to become a typical troll's flamebait
As far as your options are concerned, I'd rename some of them as follows:
- static typing => the type system
- parameter specification => function signatures
- "real" OOP => solid object system, with roles and metaclasses
- lazy eval => lazy lists

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
