Perl 6
Perl 6 Executive Summary: Revision 2
((Still under construction.))
* Perl 6 is a comprehensive redesign of Perl that aims to {greatly streamline and powerfully extend} the Perl 5.++ ecosystem.
** The many new built-in features of Perl 6 greatly advance the Perl tradition of programming language feature-and-paradigm hybrid vigor.
** See [The Long Perl 6 Super-Feature List] for the long overview.
* Perl 6 will support it's still-advancing Perl 5 big sister, and future versions of both languages will support increasing degrees of interoperability.
* Perl 6 is defined by the Perl 6 test suite (which are in turn based on the Perl 6 language design documents), not by conformance to a reference implementation (as Perl 5 was).
* To be continued.
