Hi Flavio (and Perl 6 enthusiasts), good work, I mean an alternative Perl 6 implementation and to be used as a bootstrapping language is not something you see everyday.
I'm part of CaFe PM, the local Perl group in Buenos Aires, and we've organized a Perl 6 Hackaton [1] a month or so a go. Of course we plan to attend a second one and because we need to have fun is that we're exploring new things to do, and then I added MiniPerl6 as one of the things to look at [2] in our next hackaton, that's why I almost transalted your mail to Spanish and added it [3] to our Perl 6 hackaton site. Just to let you know and give you a GREAT thanks for your work !!
