Description
Perl 6
Perl 6 is a member of the Perl family of programming languages. While similar to Perl 5, it's a whole different language with different features, compiler and syntax.
Some of the features:
- Object-oriented programming including generics, roles and multiple dispatch
- Functional programming primitives, lazy and eager list evaluation, junctions, autothreading and hyperoperators (vector operators)
- Parallelism, concurrency, and asynchrony including multi-core support
- Definable grammars for pattern matching and generalized string processing
- Optional and gradual typing
