If Perl 5 can support
Lingua::Romana::Perligata<http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/%7Edamian/papers/HTML/Perligata.html>and
let you type "
benedictum factori sic mori cis classum.
instead of
bless sub{die}, $class;
then Perl 6 should be able to do it even better. I think it would be
implemented through a set of macros. Unfortunately at the moment, the Perl 6
implementation that is the most advanced at the moment, Rakudo, does not
support macros. (I'm not sure about Sprixel, Mildew, etc). So while the
language specification would make it possible to use a different natural
language as a base, it can't be implemented by the most natural method.
