&gt; Clearly you have a lot catching up to do.<p>TBH, I&#x27;m not planning on catching up.  I skim through the Perl6 articles that get posted here to see how things are evolving, and AFAICT Perl6 doubled down on all the Perl5 features I liked the least.  More &quot;magic&quot;; more arcane symbols and operators; more context aware variables, syntax and semantics; etc.
