#2 Cross language participation

There is a general perception that Perl5 oldies don't get along with Perl6 guys. I have noticed few members, recently cross over and tried new language for the first time in the Perl Weekly Challenge. Consistent Perl5 contributors, e.g., recently started contributing Perl6 solutions as well. Similarly, who has been Perl6 contributors since he joined the team, has started contributing in Perl5 now. There are many more such crossover. Ideally, I would want everyone to follow the footsteps of members likeetc and contribute equally in Perl5 and Perl6.
