No!
But you didn't get the point, I started following Perl 6 a little late. So here is what I went through. A colleague comes to me and talks about Perl 6, Gives an excellent introduction, a few links and then leaves.
First I browse around Pugs project, and check chromatic's weekly updates on Design notes. Then I read so many more links and I'm super excited. Until I learn the project has a years of history already. Then I read that no release date exists. Nevertheless, Some think called Rakudo exists. I begin following it. Pugs begins to die a slow death and later the development is completely halted. Rakudo grows substantially(like Niecza is now), then Rakudo suffers slowdown. Then rewrites, then porting to multiple backends. Years later, up until now still no production release exists.
Niecza evolves in the same path.
When you look at the snapshot of the whole history. You see failures, slowdowns, rewrites, porting to multiple backends and yet no production release yet. A lot of blog posts, essays but no end to this thing.
Amidst all this, the scariest part is. Earlier a thread like this would start a long thread of people venting frustration. Some trolling, some complaining. These days no one even cares! Seems like many people have already given up.
