Thanks to everyone who put this together. This probably sounds silly, but Perl was the first programming language I ever did anything "real" with (it was my second language, after Microsoft QuickBASIC), and no matter how many other languages I try I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Perl. So it's great to see a real release for Perl 6 which, as it matures, I think will prove itself as the best mainstream dynamic imperative language out there.

EDIT: In particular, I think macros and stm will be killer features with respect to other languages, once they're implemented in Rakudo.
