Re reading perl6-language, it's a lot like sipping from a firehose. One useful thing to do is to try just reading $Larry's posts, and enough others to get some context as to what he's talking about. If you want more, read all of @Larry's posts. If you want yet more, try to pick out names you recognise.
Remember, if $Larry says it, take it with a grain of salt. If @Larry says it, take it with a 1cm x 1cm x 1cm cube of salt. If somebody else says it, just freeze-dry yourself, /especially/ if it's from a name you don't recognize.
