As far as I can tell, nobody I know is working on a Perl 6 lexer. (I did a lot of the more recent Perl 5 updates.) I don't have any plans to write a Perl 6 lexer. It may be easier for a current Perl 6 user to contribute a lexer (okay, that's easier said than done, but anyway) rather than a non-user. It's kinda difficult for a non-user to code the lexer (taking many hours doing that) and not be using it.
So, realistically we will probably need a contributor that's either (1) a Perl 6 user who can invest the time to do it, or (2) a corporate user of Scintilla who is willing to do it. Any good ideas?

Thanks, it's worth a shot. The more noise the better. Let's see what happens.
At one point a few years ago, I was casually watching the Padre people. But as with these things, sustaining projects is difficult, often the effort could not be sustained and the thing peters out. I have been neglecting to check the last couple of Perl 5 stables (for updating Scintilla) myself... TODO list starting to look ugly.
