in reply to What's wrong with Perl 6?

A few questions that I would ask myself before commiting to go through the learning curve associated with Perl 6 for a new project:

  1. Where can I download a binary install for my system?
  2. Where can I find an indexed language definition?
  3. When will PerlMonks have a dedicated Perl 6 section?
  4. Does it run Ackerman faster that Perl 5 (Java, Ruby, Python)?
  5. Can I spawn threads faster than I can spawn processes?
  6. Can I share a single copy of my complex data structure between those threads?
  7. When will Perl 6 v1.01 become available?
  8. How much of a penalty is my pure Perl 6 code going to pay, for whatever Perl 5 backwards compatibility that is being added?

    Never. But that's not a Perl 6 problem anyway.
