You tell me one reason any body sitting next to me should think about Perl 6 if he has no guarantee of seeing it come through in the near future....

The Rakudo compiler's 32nd monthly release in a row will occur tomorrow. Rakudo Star's second monthly release will soon follow. My conservative estimate of speed improvements is 10% over the first Star release and memory improvement appears to be 12%. That's in a month of work, and none of it the dramatic improvements we've planned.

None of this is a guarantee of future results, but then again, Microsoft could deprecate the entire CLR in favor of something else, Oracle could declare Java's end of life, and Google's orbital death ray satellites could scrub C compilers from all of our systems. You decide where you put your faith.
