The standard Perl6 grammar is relatively large. Although this facilitates expression when mastered, it creates a barrier to mastery. For example, basic constructs often have several forms that support different programming paradigms. A prime example is the variety of syntaxes for creating Pairs :
Pair.new('key', 'value');
'key' => 'value';
:key<value>;
:key<value1 value2>;
:foo(127);
:127foo;
Pay particular attention to the comment on the first form: "The canonical path."
Another example is the documentation formethod make :
This is just a little sugar for $/.made = $ast which is a very common operation in actions.
Is there a canonical form that can be deduced for a Perl6 program so that, having mastered canonical literacy, you can check any Perl6 program in this form to understand it?
