Suggested Perl 6 project for the Google Summer of Code

Google has been sponsoring the Google Summer of Code (GSOC) since 2005. It provides an opportunity for bright young computer science students to get paid for a summer supporting an Open Source project that has been approved by Google.

See https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com for more information.

One such GSOC FOSS project is https://brlcad.org which has been a GSOC-supported project for many years. This summer, as in the past several years, BRL-CAD is the lead for a consortium of several FOSS CAD projects. If you go to https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations and search for “brlcad” you will see one student project uses Python.

There is no reason why Perl 6 could not be used equivently in BRL-CAD as a wrapper and glue language around the very stable BRL-CAD C/C++ ray-tracing liraries.
