How long till Perl6 passes its tests then? Those few years plus what? Another few years? What's the current estimate?

My guess is never.

Does P5 pass every test for every platform it runs on? Or does it have some skips and todos?

Oh boy… are we comparing something that’s not quite perl failing at even being not quite perl, to something that passes pretty much all its vast library of tests on every single release on every sane platform and even some less sane ones? Are we really having a pissing contest between two wildly different things with two immensely different requirements?

Honestly, that just rubs me the wrong way.
