&gt;  Perl 6 is Lisp with a perly syntax<p>Lisp syntax is super simple. But this simple syntax can hide an enormous complexity. Metaprogramming is complex. Lisp is so powerful, but it&#x27;s not so widely used as other languages because of this complexity.<p>Now, Perl 6 claims to have the same power as lisp, only that instead of using a simple syntax, it is using a complex one, and a complex way of modifying that syntax. This is complexity wrapped in more complexity.<p>I&#x27;m sorry but I don&#x27;t think Perl 6 will ever be a very widely used programming language as its predecessor was. It might however amuse a small group of hackers who want to test new ideas in programming languages.
