What’s the objective or rationale here? I don’t understand why this is interesting.

Language compare and contrast is whats interesting to me.

I don't use either day to day but have had some exposure to both. I think both languages will have influence on future of language design at a minimum. Doubtful Perl does a phoenix routine but weirder things have happened.

I'm not sure, but I've got to say, as someone with 10 years Perl 6 experience, I nevertheless learned useful new-to-me things in the second section of it.
