#2What’s the objective or rationale here? I don’t understand why this is interesting.
Re: Haskell to Perl 6
#3I'd like to hear opinions on how the use of sigils and the other syntax oddities like Int:D, Int:U, given, when, etc improves the codabliity/readability of Perl 6 vs other languages. The examples vs Haskell are not helping me understand. Personally I don't think the added verbosity is helping in any way.

Re: Haskell to Perl 6
#5It may be that it's of interest, as an early Perl 6 implementation was written in Haskell (Pugs)

Right. This is like saying "Hello most elite gamers, here is an entry level tutorial to Duke Nukem Forever..."

#7Perl 6 feels a bit "ad hoc" to me... It looks like it has very interesting features but it lacks the uniformity present in most languages...

Perl has never been about uniformity.
Perl is a great experiment in language design, or, rather, a battery of experiments. It's the opposite of a cleanly designed language.

To be interested in programming languages generally, I think, is an inherent feature of a passionate programmer.
