one of O'Reilly's up-and-coming languages

I'm intrigued by this. Having read it several times my best guess is that this means that someone at O'Reilly is curating a list of "up-and-coming languages" and has chosen to put Perl6 on that list. Is this correct? I'd be interested to see the list to know which other languages are on it but a quick search has not turned it up.

If the phrase means something else entirely then it would be good to know that too, of course.

(Hope your tutorial goes well!)
