I dunno about that. The predicate calculus doesn't exactly translate well to the sort of programming that Perl 6 is geared for. I don't think it's a matter of redefining a grammar. Maybe unification can be handled with junctions, but backtracking? I am thinking that some serious work down at the Parrot level would be necessary, but I would be quite happy to be corrected :) Cheers, Ovid ===== If this message is a response to a question on a mailing list, please send follow up questions to the list.
