Please note that ActiveState is not trying to create competing implementations to the open source community. Even if we wanted to, we simply would not have the resources to do that. It takes a full community to eventually arrive at a working, maintainable, production-quality implementation.
I understand that many people are frustrated by the amount of time that has elapsed since the idea of Perl 6 was first discussed. But some things simply cannot be rushed beyond a certain speed; otherwise you have to redo them as soon as you finish your first draft. ActiveState can help with packaging of pre-built binaries, providing installers and additional tools. But I feel that it is still too early to do this for Perl 6. I think we should spend any additional time we find on improving our Perl 5 support instead. But I'm also interested in hearing what other people out there thing that ActiveState should be doing.

I too have been watching the Perl 6 development and I have played around with PUGS. I really want Perl6 to succeed and very eager to know what are ActiveState's plans on Perl6?

I was addressed to this maillist to ask a simple question: are there any plans at ActiveState for making a Perl 6 compiler in recent future? The question is simple but the situation is not. There is almost complete language specification already but there is no compiler that can work in real life at real time with realistic speed. All we have now for playing with Perl 6 is a Pugs tool which is good but slow. I wonder if ActiveState have any ideas to complete the race. -- Andrew Shitov ______________________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.shitov.ru _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list ActivePerl@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
