Great (basic) introduction with exception to the regex chapter because it felt like an introduction to regex instead of the regex features of perl6.
Some things I found interesting (in addition to what s_kilk mentioned and linked to and others have already mentioned some of them)
* Gradual typed!
* Multi subroutine
* Hyphen in variable names
* @numbers.=sort
* .WHAT
* Catch blocks
* .defined
* Unless
It will be fun :)
I however don't understand the reason for the naming of eg elsif, my, slurp/spurt?? (instead of else if or local or fread/fwrite) Is it a perl culture thing? Because they mention in the tutorial that Perl 6 belongs to the C-family languages (and then call the "for" loop in C "loop").
