I share your wish, but am resigned to this not being achievable with P5. I continue to hold out hope for P6, but it may be touch and go.

In the more general sense, I want programming tools that will allow me to convert the pictures in my head, into prototype code more quickly and more easily, but that will also stand up to the rigeurs (sp?) of translating those prototypes into production quality code too.

That means I want the intuative conciseness of Perl, with the ability to achieve performance close to that of C. I think this is (one of) the aim(s) of P6, and I hope it comes to fruition.

If P6 becomes what I think it is has the potential to become, then it will allow me (or others) to write the other tools I think are necessary to achieve the next level of productivity as a programmer. Something I think is sorely over due.
