I really hope that's not the case.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding things, but I thought that Perl6 should be able to *optionally* allow such things if platform specific fine-grained code tuning is necessary. Most of the time it shouldn't be, but if it's required that .01% of the time why force someone to reach for another language, regardless of how easy the languages are to integrate?
