     Different languages.  Which is why, unless forced otherwise by 
work, I'll spend my learning time on learning a different and more 
salable language than Perl6.  I can not see that a new language, even 
with the Perl moniker, that is not even close to being mature will make 
much headway in the world when we have so many other more mature 
languages to choose from.
