Assess and cherry-pick Perl 6 primitives.

[digitalextremist]

Assess and approximate primitives demonstrated in Perl 6 where desired, likely by creating additional gems. Cherry-pick concepts and behaviors including but not limited to:

• Lazy .race, and .hybrid methods ( and a more powerful .map ) by including modules.
• React blocks ( i.e. for "main loops" )
• Supply objects, and blocks... and .tap methods, and objects.
• Promise, and await ( similar to Future )
• whenever with Supply and React
• Channel objects, for use with Future and Promise
• A Monitor class to include versus implementing an Actor only, rather than do intricate locking, or purely use exclusive behavior as an Actor.

These primitives would dramatically simplify Multiplexers ( #632, #639 ) for example. These concepts are by no means "from" Perl 6 in every case, so where possible, also research implementations in Erlang and libraries like Akka when approximating.

Interesting. I suggested to Matz to implement channels and "go procs" as fundamental data strutures in MRI.

Closing as stale. If you are still interested in this issue, please reopen it.
