Can only 'perl6' parse Perl 6?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5916194

Question

There's that (relatively) well known Perl axiom, "Only perl can parse Perl." I'm wondering, will that remain true for Perl 6?

Expanding the discussion... I thought of this question given the recent update of PyPy. Does Perl's unique parsability preclude it from similar efforts? Is there much value in a restricted, static view of Perl code (PPI?)? Can Perl 6 have a JIT compiler?*

* I'm not sure if these concepts are related. Are they?

No correct solution
