TL;DR Imo, one of Perl 6's notable strengths is its approach to its
specification. Imo companies will love it. I can see it becoming a
primary tool for driving P6 forward in just the right way.

I don't see anything in the notes (though I may have missed it) about JVM.
I thought the plan was to get JVM functional again (though likely still
lagging MoarVM feature support) with the 2017.07 release?
Perl 6 on MoarVM is definitely interesting but, to me at least, the single
biggest practical

There's a key difference however.
While programming languages continue to evolve, the expectation is that a
production-complete Rakudo would always be a functional superset (or equal to)
the Perl 6 language specification which is current at the time.
So I think it is reasonable for Rakudo to
Were there any failures before the "Building NQP ..." step? Somehow the
moarvm that's packaged with the rakudo star didn't end up getting
installed into your .local/bin, so you're getting the previous version,
which - unsurprisingly - isn't new enough for current NQP and Rakudo.
Attempted build on Arch Linux:
perl Configure.pl --prefix=$HOME/.local --backend=moar --gen-moar --gen-moar
Resulting in:
Building NQP ...
/usr/bin/perl Configure.pl --prefix=/home/mcarter/.local --backends=moar
--make-install
Creating tools/build/install-jvm-runner.pl ...
===SORRY!===
If that is the question, the answer is: the junction of “never" and “now".
Which would also be the answer for Pumpking Perl 5, or any other programming
language like ever. Because as long as people are using it, a programming
language will evolve. Much like any human endeavour I would say.
I assume the meaning is, roughly when is the implementation expected
to cover the entire spec?
Answering this is probably an exercise in futility, because its up to
the community and not anyone in particular.
