And people think Perl 6 is slow

  time perl6 -e 'say [1, 2, 3;  4, 5, 6;  7, 8, 9] >>**>> 2'
  [(1 4 9) (16 25 36) (49 64 81)]

  real	0m0.170s

Note that the majority of that time is just loading Perl 6.

  time perl6 -e 'Nil'
  real	0m0.156s

Perhaps someone could create a slang module for Julia in Perl 6, as that would be a fairly easy way to improve its speed. (Assuming Julia is easy to parse and doesn't have many features that aren't already in Perl 6)
