In other words, Huffman coding works and Perl6 hackers had better start watching their waistlines. Or maybe we should spin it that Perl6 helps reduce global warming ;)
Anyway, I collected a small sample (~300 lines each) of Perl5 code along with "equivalent" Perl6 code. Some came from the Exegeses and others from Pugs' SVN. I had Text::TypingEffort give me some pseudo-scientific results and typing the Perl5 code takes about 18% more physical effort than typing the Perl6 code. -- Michael Hendricks
