Everyone wants those things, like everyone wants a good job, a nice house, freedom, and pie.
My business needs specific things, like the ability to parse PseudoPOD documents to emit XHTML or LaTeX. I don't care if Perl 6 lacks an ODBC driver or an OpenID library because I don't need them. Rakudo doesn't have to be as fast as Perl 6 for the kinds of work I use it for either; it has to be able to process a novel-length book in a minute. If you're doing exchange trading, your speed goal may be very different.
That's what I mean by "specifics".

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
