Everything around the Java ``ecosystem'', apart from the JVM itself, is shit.
Also fuck off Cudder.

The JVM ecosystem is great. It's amazing how much has been acomplished with a piece-of-shit-language like Java. Luckily there is Groovy, Scala, Clojure and (we can only hope) Perl6.

In the JVM.

In fact, Perl6 is getting good running speeds in the JVM already in the early stages. So it looks very promising.

All you have to do is write an LLVM backend for Perl 6. Then Emscripten gets you an LLVM-to-JavaScript compiler, and you're done.
I think Perl's syntax is too "hairy". Also I cut my fingers with blunt knife, trying to sking fucking potatoes (they go nicely with vodka) and now it's painful to type text.
Symta:
head Head@Tail = Head
tail Head@Tail = Tail
Perl 6
sub head(*@ [$head, *@]) { $head; }
sub tail(*@ [$, *@tail]) { @tail; }

Symta, the language of choice for disabled drunk Russian potato peelers.

Well, in >>16 I said "not shit", not "good", so I'm not sure what you're quoting there.
But assuming you disagree, why do you think the JVM is shit? It (HotSpot, to be precise) has one of the most heavily-optimized JIT compilers in existence. The bytecode format itself is fairly sane and independent of the Java programming language.

Using prefixes like $, @ and % on identifiers isn't a good way to express your type system. But it is cute, it is cool, in that down-in-the-bowels-of the system way that some people in the industry like.

>>40 @ It is not a type. It is a container. You can use types also if you like
my Str @x = ('a', 'b', 'c');
my Int @n = (1,2,3,4);
sub head(Int @arr) { return @arr[0] };
say head( @x ); # This fails
say head( @n ); # This works
@, $, % does not really define a type system. It just offers different ways of organizing your data. I understand that in your mind, an Array is a type. But saying that in Perl6 $, @ and % define a type is not the same.
Vanilla Perl5 has no types, but containers. It is the same in perl6 (at least, that is how i see it)
my @a = (1,2); say @a.WHAT; # prints Array()
my Int @b = (3,4); say @b.WHAT; # prints Array+{TypedArray}()
