&lt;p&gt;My favourites:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;the entire new regexp system, which will allow us to write grammars directly in the language,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;the type system, which will most likely allow us to reduce the amount of memory used by Perl when needed,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;wrappers around subroutines (along with temporization), will make testing much easier, it will be possible to write stubs for existing functions,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;"cute" feature I like the most: the "pipe operator" (&lt;tt&gt;==&amp;gt;&lt;/tt&gt; and &lt;tt&gt;&amp;lt;==&lt;/tt&gt;), 
&lt;li&gt;and of course Parrot is great idea, I want to be able to use the best ruby/python/brainfuck libraries (OK, maybe not brainfuck ;--)&lt;/li&gt;
