An implementation of Perl 6.. in Haskell?

There is something that feels.. oddly.. wrong about that. I can't put my finger on it.

It's kind of like the feeling I got when I watched a porno with a hot girl and a really hairy guy.

Hrm... I'll have to download this.

  Please don't compare Perl 6 and Ron Jeremy. I think Ron would be insulted.

  It's amazing that something so ugly can be so well endowed, and do such beautiful things. So where, exactly, does the analogy break down?

  Interestingly, this Perl-as-Uncle-Ron parallel seems to run on and on. Uncle Ron keeps trying to break into the "mainstream" and find "mass acceptance", and while he has done so in limited roles that play to his special strengths, at the end of the day he is a superstar of porn but a pretty sorry legitimate actor.
