From my point of view, there's a bit of a difference between writing a simple, very basic HTTP client design for a specific use case and writing a full blown Perl interpreter that also needs to keep pace with normal Perl releases.

You may disagree off course. And i'd be more than willing to run my projects on your Perl interpreter to check it out, report bugs and maybe even contribute some patches. I don't have an extra lifetime available to donate fulltime to such a project. If someone comes up with a use case where a (slower) Perl interpreter written in Perl actually justifies the amount of work required, i would be more supportive.

Also, not exactly sure why you bring up my Async HTTP client at all. I had a need for one of my projects of such a thing, i wrote it to support that specific use case, and it took me less time to do it that to rewrite existing software to support one of the other HTTP clients. I released the source code because it might be useful for someone else. If you don't like it, fine, use something else. You don't like it that there is no one to support it if i die or loose interest? Doesn't rob me of a minute of sleep.
