Re: Perl 6 (Was: Boy I love the Ruby community

To me the most interesting thing about Perl 6, should it ever be
released, is that (AFAIK) it has built-in support for swapping in new
parsers at runtime. This has intriguing implications for DSLs.

Oh yes but there are many many others. Maybe too many :(
It immediately struck me when I read the Apocalypsis that writting
Perl6 code will be fun...
.... and reading Perl6 code written by others might just be hell.

No, Arc's niche is that it will be the only language that's *never*
released. :)
