Console oriented sites and Perl 6: joining the worlds together — Igor Chubin, 20 minutes; accepted

Console sites or console services are sites that can be accessed from the browser or directly from the terminal, and though in both cases have the same or similar look and feel, accessing them from the terminal is usually preferable because of the advantages of the terminal itself. The question is, could Perl 6 become the main templating language for the console sites? And if yes, what main obstacles will be possibly faced on this way?
