Probably nothing right now.

The big issue will come later: rakudo HEAD will be working toward a v6.d
spec in the future, while Star will continue to target v6.c. (I think I've
already seen a v6.d-targeted proposed spec change.) So Star will get you a
stable language, whereas rakudobrew will get you a moving target that might
produce surprises.

At this point, rakudobrew should probably only be used by people developing
the perl 6 spec, and/or rakudo & components. If you want to *use* Perl 6,
you want Star.
