The Damians and Audrey's of the world will revel in the freedom, the power, and the flexibility. The rest of us will be scratching our heads looking for something easier to wrap our brains around.
I hope not! Part of the reason why I wrote Everyday Perl 6 was that I wanted more introductory material on Perl 6 for "the rest of us". Stuff that "ordinary" people would use. Since I didn't find too much, I thought I'd just start writing it.
Damian and Audrey and others are doing their part to inspire the masses; to bring us dreams made real. Once Perl 6 hits the streets, I'm sure there will be articles and books and tutorials and such that will bring "the rest of us" closer to being a Damian or an Audrey (even if I have to write some of them :-)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
