That's pretty cool! I started trying to learn perl6 and write my first interesting program. I have a copy of 'ray tracing in a weekend' and am trying to translate the basic ray tracer from c++ to perl6.
It's remarkably slow right now.. It takes 1.5 minutes to generate an image. I tried to do the same thing in Julia and it takes 1.5 seconds. So I guess I must be doing something wrong!
