Rakudo today offers a wide range of Perl 6 features. However, there's still plenty of work to do, particularly in the area of performance, native type handling and static analysis. In this talk, I'll discuss a range of topics that my work on Rakudo is currently focusing on, why they matter and what they mean to the everyday Perl 6 user.

In particular, I'll talk about:

* Improving the Rakudo meta-model implementation
* Representation polymorphism
* Gradual typing
* Bounded serialization
* Additional backend support

Since I expect these topics will be new to many people, I'll also provide a short explanation of each one - so don't be shy if any (or all) of them are new to you! Come along, and take a peek inside a compiler hacker's branes. :-)
