For old-timers: this is the programming language formerly known as Perl 6.
It's funny to think of Perl as an old-time language, but its heyday was 20-30 years ago and history really seems to have passed it by. Weird to think that Perl is to kids these days as Snobol and Prolog were to me when I was first learning to program in elementary school.
It also has a place in history as the original language of some very influential web products, notably Amazon.com, GMail, EBay, LiveJournal, and del.icio.us.
