Ahh, and one more thing:

The yadda operator is great when writing tutorials:

In the perl 6 wikipedia page there are many coe snippets that are familiar
to whoever tried some read or write operator on a tutorial... Except that
now they are legal syntax:
"Perl 6 introduces true formal parameters to the language. In Perl 6, a
subroutine declaration looks something like this:

sub do_something(Str $thing, Int $other) { ... }"


"The following changes greatly improve the readability of regexes


   - Simplified non-capturing groups: [...] which are the same as Perl
   5's: (?:...)"

"class RGB_Color is Tuple[int,3] & Color { ... }

sub get_tint (RGB_Color|CMYK_Color $color, num $opacity where 0 <=
$^opacity <= 1) { ... }
sub store_record (Record&Storable $rec) { ... }"

Seems so unelegant to me when it's illegal but I am still forced to
use something of the sorts that when it's suddenly a legal language
construct it hit me with elegancy and I ran off to eat some bacon
before I'd be drawn by the evil snoopy cursing perl, be it's destiny
#^#&@^ous.

OK, I'll stop bothering everyone with the stupid seinfeld operator :P
