In
{l for l in L}
The reason it is in `{}` is to create a Set from iterating over `L`.

So in Python:
[ l for l in L ] gives a list
( l for l in L ) gives a generator
{ l for l in L } gives a set
In Perl6 those would most likely be written as:
L.List or L.Array or L.list
L.Seq
L.Set
---
The way to do that is
my \L = ((1..10) xx 3).flat.pick(*).list;
set( L ) # A
L.Set # B
my %set is SetHash;
{ ++%set{$_} for L } # C
# D
do {
# add the {} syntax to create a Set (lexically)
my sub circumfix:«{ }» ( \L ) { L.Set };
{ $_ for L } # <--
}
Something that seems similar to me is `unique`
.say for L.unique;
By that I mean, some places where you would use a Set, it makes sense
to use `.unique` instead

As for `{(k, x) for k in K for x in X if P(x)}`
The easiest one to directly translate appears to be the Scala one
my \K = 1..10;
my \X = 5..15;
# for (k <- K; x <- X if P(x)) yield (k,x)
Set.new: gather {
for K -> \k {
for X -> \x {
if P(x) {
take (k,x);
}
}
}
}
Other ways:
Set.new: (K X[,] X).grep: -> ( \k, \x ) { P(x) }
Set.new: K X[,] X.grep: &P
Set.new: K X[,] X.grep: &P
Set.new: ( -> ( \k, \x ) { (k,x) if P(x) } for K X[,] X )
Set.new: ( -> \x { |(-> \k { (k,x) if P x } for K) } for X)
