Dear reader,

The Rakudo Perl 6 compiler is a usable implementation. It's not remotely where P6ers would like it to be and there are only a handful of users but folk are using it today to get $dayjob stuff done.

Dear monks,

liz, who posted the comment Jenda replied to, is highly respected in the Perl community for her contributions. (She just won a White Camel award.) This was her fist post here at the monastery in a couple years. You can contribute to the Perl 6 project by simply responding to her -- via substantive constructive engagement, or even just encouragement, either here or on #perl6.
