top 5 list needed

i have an opportunity to get an email sent to the faculty of a top CS
dept. my goal is to get internal support for a potential YAPC to be
hosted there. so i want to present perl 6 to them in a way which will
sell them on its academic and cutting edge aspects. your mission is to
write some short (2-3 sentence) bullet items that highlight some major
area of interest to ivory tower types.
some rules:
no marketspeak.
write it as if you know what you are talking about! :)
refer to interesting langs and what we stole from them (and made
better)
use academic buzzwords!
some obvious topics are:
grammars (better than anything since snobol :)
the new OO design (stole the best from the rest and perlized it)
continuations and stuff
parrot (a new vm to run and bind them all)
so have at it and sell perl 6 to the professors.
thanx,
uri
