Nice!, but

Look, what users want right now, is 1 VM running 100% of Perl 6 features completely, without show stopper bugs, which is fast and with some decent standard libraries and documentation. Not 10 VM's running 10% of Perl 6 features.

Parrot did just fine, and if you felt that was too unstable to die soon or lose support. JVM did equally fine too. JVM in neither dieing, nor will anytime soon. Once you get it right on one VM, you are all welcome to port it to as many as you want

Right now, most users are just hoping against hope that they will see Perl 6 out some how. I know you are going to talk about regular releases, now what good would those releases do but to only test and try language features? Beyond that, what?

Right now the 'Rakudo on Moar VM' hasn't moved a needle on the feature completion matrix, speed, libraries, or documentation. It just ensured you spent more time away from those more important priorities. And you will spend more time porting further features on these multiple VM's. in the future

To be frank I sincerely, just.. again.. hoping against hope.. that in 2014 Perl 6 doesn't suffer a major rewrite, No new big sub-projects started, No new VM's are written, No new effort's to port to existing VM's happen.

As a user I would like to see 2014 be an year with Rakudo being 100% feature completed, a little fast, without major bugs, with decent libraries and documentation. In other words ready for the rest of the world

Happy New Year!
