The article you've linked is about unityped languages. Perl 6 is not unityped.

To quote the conclusion of the article you linked:

> Why should you care? Because, I argue, that a fully expressive language is one that supports the delicate interplay between static and dynamic techniques. Languages that force only one perspective on you ... hobble you; languages that admit both modes of reasoning enable you and liberate you from the tyranny of a single type.

It would seem he ought to love Perl 6.

"Getting beyond static vs dynamic" may be of interest:
