Perl 6 Design Philosophy

O'Reilly has published an excerpt from the book Perl 6 Essentials. "Perl 6 Essentials is the first book to offer a peek into the next major version of the Perl language. It covers the development of Perl 6 syntax as well as Parrot, the language-independent interpreter developed as part of the Perl 6 design strategy. In this excerpt from Chapter 3 of the book, the authors take an in-depth look of some of the most important principles of natural language and their impact on the design decisions made in Perl 6."
