Except it's been dead for years.
So #perl6 will start rewriting it again in the future. Then kill it. Then rewrite it. Then announce that they're going to rewrite it and try to kill it but let it linger on and then write a compatibility layer five or six different ways and half-arse it onto several different backends.
And then several years later, they'll tell you that it has a real user. They just can't tell you who it is or anything about it. But it has a real user and it's not vaporware, they promise, and it'll be done THIS YEAR FOR SURE and why don't you read their conference presentation and their blogs hosted in Wordpress because they're too busy drinking and rewriting things to figure out how to use Rakudo for anything as mundane as web programming.
After all, it's a language designed to rewrite compilers, slowly and poorly.
