While I am not an expert in R, My observation about the specific features
that I use often in R and its equivalence in Perl is as follows.

   - The *apply functions, Technically it is similar to Perl's map/grep and
   friends.
   - Magrittr: Perl5 has no equivalent function, Perl6 has the pipe
   operator ==>
   - the tidyverse set of packages, Python has stolen some of the features
   from this package (ggplot and dplyr) I am not aware of any equivalent
   package in Perl.
   - Literate Programming via knitr ( Python has Jupyter) The nearest
   equivalent I find in Perl is one of the template engines but it is really
   not the same...

I suspect that while P6 has the nuts and bolts of being a great language
for DataScience, It does not provide a complete out of the box experience.

For me to consider P6 instead of R for my Data Analytics, At a minimum I
would prefer to have the equivalent of the tidyverse package,Leaflet and
associated GIS packages and knitr(Which already supports Perl)

Regards

Vijay
