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 = (!

Surely it brings all of it? Plus much more as well. Much of the
power is in the smart-matching, which enables many diff
