It looks like he's creating an improved / cleaned-up perl5 running on a new VM. Think of it as perl6 if the perl6 moniker hadn't already been taken! EDIT - Hopefully clearer analogy... the project is a mixture of python2 -> python3 (language cleanup) + MRI -> YARV (new compiler & VM). > Is there anything good about Perl 5 that other languages haven't already copied? If there is, what is it? The author of the talk (Stevan Little) is the creator of Moose (http://moose.perl.org). I think what he maybe striving for is a Moose implemented on a modern future proof
