Wow, Perl 6 [video]
I am trying really hard to approach Perl 6 with an open mind, but my gut reaction to most of the code I see is negative.<p>It seems like the guiding principle was to create a language that gives you incredible freedom in terms of how you do things.  While that is great in theory, in practice mentally modelling that expressiveness reduces the amount of attention I can devote to the specific problems being addressed by the code.  Maybe if I put a lot of time in that would change; I don't see a big potential payout though, so I'm not going to bother.<p>With that being said, grammars look well designed.  If all I was doing was parsing/transforming text, I would definitely consider using Perl 6.
