I found some of the perl 6 new features really neat:
- creating your own type
- type casting
- junctions
- multidispatch
- :r:w:a shortcuts
- hyper operators
- some kind of oop keywords
But there are some changes in the grammar which
benefits aren't that obvious :
1- $str1 ~ $str2
2- $life = (!

The '+' suggests numerical addition (and requires disambiguation in the
case of $str + $number - should $str be interpreted as a number, or
$number as a string?).
The . is already taken by method calls (used far more often), and is

Hi there. For some of these the benefit is indirect: it isn't that it
makes the feature in question easier to use; instead it enables _other_
features.

The FixedIntegerArray is an example of where 'new_from_string' is used.
'new_i_s' was experimental and can die. Any PMC's using the behavior can
instead pass a hash argument to 'new'.

Hey,
I believe I've found it. There was an update to lib/Parrot/Revision.pm
(#23179) to add "--xml" to the snv info request used to get the current
Parrot checkedout revision. However, on svn v1.2 (1.2.1) that fails and
you get a revision of zero which nobody likes. So, while upgrading svn

The logic was present in FIA, before PCC was written.
It was reused in an attempt to "don't repeat yourself".

I haven't completely sorted through the above issues, but here's a

discussed in RT 48070, I'm suggesting the use of IO::CaptureOutput

I have been looking a bit inside PDDs and parrot source and find no way to
load a pointer to a function as a PMC inside the VM.
What I want to do is to embed parrot into a C program and make some of the
functions of this C program available via NCI to the vm.
I have achieved this by using the tip
