Already we have real exception-handling try/catch syntax provided by Syntax::Keyword::Try, asynchronous code flow async/await by Future::AsyncAwait, and a still-experimental object system in Object::Pad. There are still many other commonly-requested or discussed features such as some sort of conditional case matching, multiple dispatch of functions or methods, or ideas around type assertions that could be applied by keywords as well.

At the same time, as these existing modules continue to provide useful semantics and gain more acceptance across CPAN authors and the wider community, we can begin to look at whether they can somehow be migrated into the core language entirely, becoming a true native part of Perl syntax.
