Why Perl 6 is different

Re:Why Perl 6 is different by AndrewO on Tuesday April 20, 2010 @09:48AM (#1279372)

  It has been said that Ruby is Smalltalk with a perly syntax. 
  Perl6 extends on that: Perl 6 is Lisp with a perly syntax.

Interesting idea, but I would have loved to see some examples or comparisons. For all of the mindshare that Perl has, I haven't seen much content (especially code) about Perl 6 over the last couple of years.

You're very welcome.

This link may also be of interest: http://transfixedbutnotdead.com/2010/01/14/anyone-for-perl-6...

From the links in the post you can find Perl5, Ruby, Javascript and Python comparative examples.

Been playing a bit with Io (http://www.iolanguage.com/) recently so was planning to add a comparative post for that as well.

Update: I just copied over my Io example i had brewing into a gist (http://gist.github.com/372559)
