    The problem with trying to do absolutely everything is it takes awhile to implement.

    http://perl6.org/compilers/features

    Its kind of like that Arthur Clarke story "The Nine Billion Names of God". If, one night, you glance at the sky and see the stars start going out, you'll know that someone has finally implemented all the Perl6 features. Either that, or its cloudy and going to rain.
