    Hence not one to replace Perl5? ;)

    Good to know ... xD

      Absolutely not, even if at the beggining of the project it might have been the idea. It's something Conway insisted on clarifying in his talk. Therefore I see the capacities of reintegration of Perl5 functionalities as a side-effect of Perl6, this is similar to using Java as a virtual machine compared to compiling Java programs, and it is the reason why I was asking about a P6 compiler, able to yield programs independent of any virtual machine.

    Fourteen years of waiting for good management and workers, you can predict it'll wait forever.
