That looks pretty cool Reini. I'd never seen that before. How come you never talk about that stuff at PM meetings? :)

We discussed how to name the new perl forks, and thought that a
combination of perl5 and perl6 would make most sense.
perl5 compatible syntax with added but not contradicting perl6 features.
A common runtime, with exchangable parts.

Hence the name perl11, my project is called p2.
5+6=11
p2: 2nd perl

http://perl11.org/p2/
