As a person new and looking at Perl 6 as I have done over the time I am interested to know from Perl 6 Language advocates what exactly the strength and benefit of Perl 6 is and will likely be?
Is there a particular domain it is going to be especially useful for ? Is it going to be able to design a better Node.js, or Angular, or Numpy etc, is it excelling at multi-core( yapc 2013 paper http://jnthn.net/papers/2013-yapceu-conc.pdf) and real-time apps(spa's etc) or a sys admin tool? I am trying to get a feel for the why? I can see the why over python(it's the same with prior versions), but what interests is why over Go or Ruby or Clojure? Would the PDL (http://pdl.perl.org/) written in Perl 6 have an advantage to the developer team and to end users? What would/could catalyst (http://www.catalystframework.org/) do better if in Perl 6? I really am interested to here the why, the why in a practical sense of usage and areas of endeavour that it would target and excel at. Thank you Sayth
