All I can say is “wow”. Autrijus has written an interpreter for Perl 6 in Haskell called Pugs. Kudos.
Oh, and here is a small example of some Perl 6 code:
#!perl6
use v6;
multi sub quicksort ( ) { () }
multi sub quicksort ( *$x, *@xs ) {
my @pre = @xs.grep:{ $_ < $x };
my @post = @xs.grep:{ $_ >= $x };
(@pre.quicksort, $x, @post.quicksort);
}
(1, 5, 2, 4, 3).quicksort.say;

That’s the first bit of Perl 6 I’ve seen. It looks quite interesting. Any idea when Perl 6 is going to be released?

Anthony, it will be released sometime around Christmas. Not necessarily *this* Christmas. ;)

Allison Randal (Perl 6 Project Manager) told me last week that a development release will be “Next Christmas if we are lucky”. Publicly she is saying Quarter 1 2006 for the development release, Quarter 1 2007 for production.

Haskell’s much cooler than Perl, though (but nowhere near as practical)
