Excellent. Will there be an abstract syntax for tree rewriting or is it Perl 6 all the way down? This is really amazing stuff. I was expecting some support for building mini languages on top of Perl 6, but it really looks like Perl 6 is going to become the de facto language prototyping tool. (Bye bye yacc!) In many ways Perl 6 is more language neutral than Parrot. - Ken
