publish my slides when I'm done.I may even video the talk and publish
that too

Correct -- there are some excellent REPLs for perl5 such as
Devel::REPL and tinyrepl.
The advantage for Perl 6 will be (but is not yet) it's multi-threaded
friendliness. I am slowly working on the tools to build something like
clojure's nREPL -- a client/server repl where your console, editor,
and even front-end world can all be talking to an interactive instance
of your application with deep introspection and cool coordination
through middleware.
Once it is working, rakudo-js will then allow this to get some really
sweet workflows going, where you can edit code in your editor, have it
pushed up to your browser, and use a console on the server to inspect
and manipulate the state on the browser during interactive development.

Although REPL really provide greate help for people to get start in
learning a new language, I don't think we should call the REPL a
language
feature. It's just a implementation feature. I believe one can
easily add
a REPL for perl5(anyone here did?).
I would vote for the concurrency feature and the so called
built-in OO.
By the way, can I have a chance to watch this talk? Would it be
uploaded to
Youtube in the future ?
thanks,
