Okay, let's try to be "technically correct" (the best kind!).

I'll choose my favorite C or Java compiler -- you choose your favorite Perl 6 compiler. Does it do profile-guided optimization? Polymorphic inline caches? Real-time garbage collection? Can you even explain these things? Yeah, I didn't think so. Please see GCC and Sun's Java for prior art.
