in thread What's wrong with Perl 6?

C# and Java seem to be doing just fine

Are C# and Java not implemented in "C (or perhaps C++)"? If they are, why do you try to invoke them as counterexamples?

    Because somehow Parrot (written mostly in C) doesn't count for Perl 6, as far as I understood the post to which I replied.

      I consider a implementation running on parrot to be pretty much an implementation in C. If your original comment meant to imply that since the implementation would be via parrot that it didnt count as an implementation in C then I apologise for the misunderstanding.

        Ah, okay. Yes, I think Parrot's the best long-term strategy for a viable Perl 6 at this point. (Working on it doesn't endear me to C though.)
