    I can't get over bits of that interview:

    From Question number 5:
    I also liked Ruby's unary splat operator, so I borrowed it for Perl 6.

    I was wondering what is the "splat operator" and what it does. I did a searh for this on google but I couldn't find much. I also read the Apocalypse 3: Operators (October 2, 2001) and didn't see what I was looking for. Can anyone answer this?

      The splat operator is the symbol also known as star or asterisk: *. As a unary operator it will flatten lists in Perl6 (you will find it under Unary * in A3).

    I'm with Aristotle on the structure of discourse - a story should have a beginning, and middle, and an end.
