I'm not sure.  Basic object model of two languages are quite different
(basically untyped, sometimes statically typed language and
dynamically but strongly typed language).  But if Perl6 people can
work with Python, probably they can do same thing with us.

Currently Perl6 VM is vaporware (so is Rite).  So we have to wait and
see how it goes.
