I found this a nifty intro to perl6. I am a 70 year old retiree and have 37 years of C programming and some C++, perl5, and other languages. This is the first time I've been able to make the slightest headway digging perl6.

That's awesome. Thank you for joining the community here. I have a lot of respect for our elders. New technology gets written about using old technology.

fnj is also a longtime community member of Slashdot, and well regarded.

Sir, when I grow up, I wish to have the same passion as you!
