Perl 6 Essentials? (Score:2, Insightful)

Has anyone seen the content? Is it more than a compilation of the Apocalypse and Exegesis articles?

  Apparently there's [perl.org] quite some Parrot content.

    Quite a bit--the last two chapters are on Parrot, one on the architecture, and another on practical programming in parrot assembly. I'm not sure what the final page count for the parrot stuff is, but it is (IIRC) in excess of 50 pages.

  I was a tech. editor. I can say that it is in no way a compilation of Apocalypses and Exegeses, but a highly distilled summary of current Perl 6 thought.
  
  I once sat through what ended up being half of what would've been a day-long lecture on the structure of Perl 6, by Damian. To me, the first half of this book had the feel of that talk. The second half of the book had the feel of a Parrot talk by Dan.
