So I'd change that to after a production release of a Perl 6 compiler
Out of curiosity (because I think it will illuminate some of the difficulty
Rakudo devs have in declaring something to be a production release):
- What constitues a production release?
- What was the first

Although everything you said is technically
There has been requests and talk of a production release for years now. Fancy
titles released have come out monthly and quarterly for some time. At some
point you have to say it simply isn't a good product or it is going to
production how long are we going to hear excuses of my dog died past

Fixing that is something I'd like to help with.
Note that go was listed *before* it was announced. That tells me that
the go authors are, in some small way, more
My point is make it a production release so peeps can push it to the powers
that be in the corporate world. This has been the longest production build in
test in the history of mankind. If this was a real world project it would have
been dead sometime ago.

'serious project' ???
For some 'serious' people, Perl6 is a 'serious project'. Concepts of
'serious' differ amongst reasonable people. Not a problem if your

I think there are/were perl6 versions for the shootout problems. I am
not sure what happened to them.
Getting benchmarking will be interesting.
