Thought you might be interested in the message following "-mark".  NQP
is the bootstrapping language for Perl 6.  The Perl 6 development team
is working on trying to release Perl 6 version 1.0 before Christmas.  In
my opinion, Perl 6 is a much better language than Perl 5.

(If you are a Mathematica user you may be interested
to know that Mathematica 10.3 has been released.)

Subject: Coverity Static Analysis For NQP
To: perl6-compiler at perl.org

Hello everyone-

I'm a longtime Perl5 developer and the creator of Perl::Critic. More
recently, I started working for Coverity, which makes commercial static
analysis tools.

Coverity offers a free analysis service through scan.coverity.com. This
service is used by thousands of open source projects, including Perl5.

I ran a local analysis of the NQP codebase and found 119 potential defects.
If you enlist your project at scan.coverity.com you can get all the details.

Can't wait until Christmas!

-Jeff
