Depending on how you look at it, the advantage is either all of the Perl 5 ecosystem plus whatever Perl 6 brings to the table, or the lack of a disadvantage through not having a large module ecosystem, depending on how charitable you want to be.<p>Not to mention, you also have Inline::Python[1], and conceivably any other runtimes they want to embed.  I think it would be interesting to see what you get by taking the best of class in each ecosystem and using them.  It may or may not scale well due to data marshalling, but it&#x27;s definitely something new (at least the ease of it is) and, IMO, worth looking into.<p>1: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;niner&#x2F;Inline-Python&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;niner&#x2F;Inline-Python&#x2F;</a>
