I have been doing 12 hour days lately so I didn't bother entering. I considered it though.

Rakudo isn't an interpreter. That may be your problem. Were you getting segfaults? That was an annoying problem with the git version for about a week. Rakudo Star would have worked. If you rebuild now it should be fine though.
>>13 Were you getting segfaults?
No, see below. Rakudo isn't an interpreter.
My problem was not being able to paste code into the repl (of the perl6 binary, it accepts only `one-liners'.
Try pasting this in the repl: sub mysub(Int $x) { return $x*2; }
Then this: sub mysub(Int $x) {
return $x*2;
}
The first works, the second doesn't. I'm a Lisper, so it's frustrating for me to not being able to test code from the repl.
Also, the parser gets confused too much, even with well-formed/not ambiguous statements.
>>14
I'd like to point out that you're no more disadvantaged than anyone else in that case.
I'd have suggested .eval for $( $*IN.slurp );, but every time Rakudo encounters an EOF on stdin it bails, so it only works once and Rakudo exits at the bottom of the first loop. http://try.rakudo.org/ accepts multiline input. As seen above, Perl 6 one-liners can be very potent. I don't usually worry about it. Search for 'blackjack golf' and you'll find a a 3-round game of blackjack in ~300 characters.
Also, the parser gets confused too much, even with well-formed/not ambiguous statements.
This comes up here and there, but it's rare. Most of it has to do with unimplemented features, but there are a few areas where the parse comes out wrong.
>>16
That's one way to look at it. On the other hand, people who know Perl 6 comfortably and have been using Rakudo for some time don't feel that way. There's more freedom in it than frustration, unless you happen to be trying something compute intensive.
I'm a little surprised you didn't start out by writing a multiline REPL since the grammar used in Rakudo is available to you. It wouldn't be a stretch to use that to re-implement the REPL in the way you want by matching and compiling expressions as they are completed. (That said, I'm surprised no one else has replaced the standard REPL with something like this.)
One place the REPL needs fixing is with infinite results: my @a = 1..Inf
This never terminates.
$r = my @a = 1..*; $r ~~ Cool && $r.elems ~~ Inf ?? $r.elems !! $r ;
Perl 6 knows the size of infinite things, so this one just prints 'Inf'. The match against Cool just ensures .elems is available. (AFAIK only Cool things have .elems or can be infinite but that's just a guess.)
I wish I was female, so that I could have a badass name like Nixie Pixel.

Nixie Pixel undressed Leah Culver hastily, laying hands on smooth curves and winking seductively. Her breast heaving atop of Nixie have expanded with hands behind them working to unbutton Nixie pants, with moist Nixie squirming in delight.

Leah crouched over Nixie, the boyish looking woman sprawled on the bed,
her bare breasts rising and falling rapidly as she panted. Her shirt was
open and bra discarded, her nipples thrusting up painfully.
"You look so beautiful like this," Leah purred as she leaned forward
to run her tongue over each breast.
'I wouldn't have thought she was the aggressive one,' Nixie thought,
surprised, 'she's so quiet and sweet normally.'
"Just like I need you," Leah agreed as she bent down to suck firmly at
Nixie's pointed, reddened nipple. Her other hand slid along the bare leg
up to Nixie's panties, delicately stroking the soaked crotch.
"Ugh," Nixie made a incoherent sound as her hips jerked under Leah's
touch.
Leah laughed merrily as she continued to stroke, alternating between
light stroked and heavy, biting and sucking on Nixie's breasts. As her
lover became more and more excited Leah ground her own wetness against
Nixie's thigh. They raced together towards climax, their bodies straining
towards completion, then with a strangled cry Leah came, her
convulsions triggering Nixie's orgasm too.
``Brian, what is going on with her?''
Leah's unconscious body was curling in snake-like movements on the operation table. She let out a deep moan.
``These are just the effects of the sedative I gave her. It can act stimulating on sensitive people.''
Nixie was unsure. ``So what exactly…?''
``I'd say our little rebel brat is quite enjoying herself, wherever her mind might be right now. And since you were the only one she had a chance to lay her eyes on when we picked her up, it's not hard to imagine what's going on in there.'' He couldn't suppress a sly grin. Nixie was at a loss of words, thinking back a few hours, he might just be right. `Fucking Doc'. she thought.
They were chasing out the Leftovers in an residential area that has been under suspicion for quite some time, but only months-long careful observation of energy use spikes pattern in the circadian distribution led to where the last programmers were hiding.
It was then only a matter of rousting them up, make a lot of noise, let loose the dogs; a regular old crackdown.
The girl with the name Leah was one of the few who even managed to escape from the block, Nixie, the Colonel and his men frantically sprinting after them when they got spotted. So the hunt began, and an easy on it was. The Leftovers were all weakly, running out of breath in minutes, their cardiovascular systems not used to any sort of physical strain and the fear, or rather certitude, of impending mutilation and imprisonment doing the rest. Leah had the smarts to seek hiding as soon as possible, but Nixie smelled her out. That was what she did best, spotting, running down and catching the rare and elusive female Leftovers. Licking an the handle of an unlocked apartment building's entrance door confirmed she had just gone in there. Soon they found her, collapsed, unconscious, hiding behind some large pipes in the farthest cellar down the corridor. Nixie pinned her down, and for the second or so she regained her wits, whispered into her ear ``Have you read your SICP today?''
Frozen Void saw him. Yes. Him. Mat Dickie was right there, standing and watching over his brother. When Mat Dickie started to walk toward his little brother, Frozen Void held his breath. He couldn't move if he wanted to. When Mat Dickie was near his little brother, he smiled softly.
"Frozen Void..your so...mature..." He leaned in, putting his hand on his brothers shoulder and grined. Frozen Void's eyes widen. He could of kill him, and he knew it..yet..he won't? Frozen Void's eyes widen even more when he felt something wet on his neck.
Mat Dickie. It was Mat Dickie who was licking his neck softly. Frozen Void didn't know what to do, so he just tilted his head, giving Mat Dickie more skin to lick, bite, and suck on. Mat Dickie could only smile at his younger brother, who was giving himself to him. Mat Dickie took off his cloak and grined. He eyed Frozen Void as he picked the small boy in his arms and set him on the bed. Mat Dickie saw the fear in his eyes..and yet, there was something else. Mat Dickie tilted his head slightly and smiled. It was lust..love...either one, Mat Dickie liked it. This will be fun..Mat Dickie thought to himself as he bit his brothers neck softly. Frozen Void gasped softly and moaned. He could feel his blood coming out, only to be licked up by his brother. This is so wrong..Frozen Void thought, but thoughs thoughts were soon forgotten as he felt a small tug on his pants. Frozen Void looked up at his older brother, with fearful eyes. Mat Dickie could only smile softly.
"Brother..don't worry...I'll take good care of you.." Mat Dickie whisperd to his brother. Frozen Void nodded dumbly and watched his lovely brother. His long hair, was down, and in his face. Giveing him a very hot look. Frozen Void blushed slightly and the new dirty thoughts going threw his head. Frozen Void saw Mat Dickie lick two of his fingers and smirk evilly. Frozen Void tilted his head slightly, wondering what he was going to do-
"..I..Mat Dickie!.." Frozen Void yelled. Mat Dickie smiled softly. When Mat Dickie saw that Frozen Void was thinking, he thought it would be a lovely time to slip his fingers in him. He saw Frozen Void blush softly, moaning as Mat Dickie moving his fingers around.
"Hush..brother.." He whisperd, taking ahold of Frozen Void's member. Frozen Void could only gasp. He felt a very cold hand on his hot member. Frozen Void bit down on his lower him, hopeing Mat Dickie knew what he was doing. Mat Dickie pulled his fingers out of Frozen Void as he smirked. What Mat Dickie could feel, Frozen Void was so tight..so very..very tight. Mat Dickie couldn't wait till he could actually fuck his little brother.
Mat Dickie started to rub his brother's member slowly and softly, making the young boy moan softly. Mat Dickie closed his eyes, loving the small moans coming from Frozen Void. Mat Dickie's hand took more speed, and roughness. Frozen Void moaned louder, arching his back slightly. Frozen Void didn't know what to think. Mat Dickie was his brother..and yet he loved what he was doing to him. Was that wrong? Frozen Void mentally shook his head slightly. There was nothing wrong what they were doing..right?
Suddenly, Frozen Void cryed. He felt his brother stick his very large member into Frozen Void's passage. Breathing in and out, Frozen Void closed his eyes slightly.
"..G-go..." he said softly, begging. Mat Dickie's eyebrow rose slightly, smiling. So, his little brother wants this? So be it, Mat Dickie thought. Holding onto Frozen Void's sides softly, Mat Dickie trusted himself into him. Frozen Void moaned, so very sweetly, his name.
"I..Mat Dickie.." He moaned. Frozen Void cursed himseld slightly. He sounded like a girl. A high pitch, i-want-you-now kind of moan. But did he have time to think about it? No. Mat Dickie grined as he saw Frozen Void's blushing face. Frozen Void looked up and blushed, meeting his dark eyes. His face was slightly red and his forehead coated with a light sweat.
"S..Frozen Void..I want you..to..-urg-...yell my name..." Mat Dickie said gruffly, as he pouded into Frozen Void. Frozen Void's eyes went slightly wide and nodded slightly. He didn't know how to anwser that. His brother was always so...forceful. Frozen Void mentally kicked himself. That wasn't the right word..was it?
Mat Dickie looked at his brother slightly, then rolling his eyes, he started to slow his pace. He heard Frozen Void grunt. He could just feel the icy glare coming from his younger brother.
"...I..I can't yell your name..if you..gonna go that slow..you..baka.." Frozen Void said harshly, making Mat Dickie shiver ever so slightly. Mat Dickie could feel his eyebrow go up. So, his little brother has a mouth, eh?
"..so..you want me to go faster? How fast, my dear brother?" Mat Dickie asked. Now he could feel, yes feel, his brother anger. Suddenly, much to Mat Dickie's likeing, Frozen Void trusted his hips forward, making Mat Dickie's member go into him. Mat Dickie couldn't help but mewl softly, as his brother pushed himself into him. Frozen Void gasped softly as he felt his brother go down on him as he pulled back. They did this for a while. With a out yell, Frozen Void almost fell limp. He hurt. Their was pain, but there was more pleasure. Sighing happily, Frozen Void looked up at his brother. He was laying on top of him, breathing softly and calmy.
But, was Mat Dickie done? Oh no. Mat Dickie got out of his brother and he went down to him member. Smirking evilly, his tounge softly touched Frozen Void's member. Frozen Void was almost asleep when he felt something wet and warm touch his member. Gasping, Frozen Void held onto the sheets tightly, so tightly that his knuckles turned white. Mat Dickie put his graceful hands on Frozen Void's member as he ungulfed his head. Frozen Void let out a gasp, then a sweet-sounding moan. The sound became a drug for Mat Dickie. He could't help it. It sounded so sweet..so..pure. He wanted more of it.
Biteing down softly, Mat Dickie started to move his hands up and down slowly but tightly. Mat Dickie could feel Frozen Void swirm slightly.
"..I..I..I can't..." Frozen Void moaned, but it was far to late. His cum shot up into Mat Dickies mouth. Mat Dickie licked it all up, as if it was the last thing he would ever taste. Smiling, Mat Dickie got up and looked at his brother..walking to the door. As he went, he turned his head to him
"...Your still far to weak...foolish brother.." with that, he was gone. Leaving the very, very sad Frozen Void alone on the bed.

At first there was nothingness. Black empty space with no sings of anything. Slowly, as it seemed, substance was creating itself. There was nothing but force at the begginig of my birth. Like always, everything, and even me back then had to have shape for better functioning. I could not see myself or hear any sound. But somehow I new what to do so I began to think.There was no ground beneath me, and I was floating in the darkness.Those twiches now I began to understand. In order to keep my body from pain I had to move. When I took control of my body I opened my eyes.
As I slowly began to be aware of myself and my thaughts, I realised that in this endless space I wasn’t alone. There was a small light shinnig like a blue crystal. I started “walking” towards it. How long did it took for me to get there? No idea. At that time I even din’t know who, or even what I am. The light began to grow bigger and bigger, and now it didn’t seem so bright. It had black lines of energy in it. In there was a island looking castle and it was enormus. That light was actually a forcefield that was protecting it. To that discovery I got painfully. With full speed I hitted the field and got shock by electric energy. There I lost consciousness.
***
I was lying on a carpet in a living room. The consequense of electric shock and my unknowledge was big pain in my head an paws. I tried to move but my nerves didn’t react, so I slowly lift my head up. There were two woman in two opposite chairs on two oppostite sides of a room.
At my left side was a woman with white hair and pale skin, almost white eyes and white coat. Her long hair reached elbows and her side of a room was tidy and clean. Almost prefect.
On my right there was also a woman, but very different. She also had long hair, but black as a darkness that was sourrunding me at the begining. Her black eyes were like two black holes that were sucking you in, and her skin was like her ansestorswere pharaos themselfs. Her coat was black and her part of the room was in a total mess.The only similarity was that both were frightnely beautifull.
-“So, you finnaly reached our headcuotartes”- said white woman with a little smile on her face. As she was saying that I felt warmth of her voice.-“I hope you didn’t hurt yourself much.”- She stood up an put her had on my forehead. I felt warmth energy filling my body. Soon the pain was gone and I stood up.-Oh, for the drakness sake, why are you so gentle? He will be and he is our messanger of destruction. He should suffer.”- smirked the other woman. White woman turned around and looked her in the eyes.-“ He will suffer long enough in his life.”- Black woman was angry now. Obviosly she didn’t like gently thoughts or anyone to comply about it. White woman sat on her chair.-“ Now...“ -“Hax his anus“.
