Okay, so sounds like the strategy for perl 6 is wrong, and those guys have bitten much more than they can chew.... so what, Perl 6's resource problem should become everybody's problem?
You can't possibly want Perl 6 to happen more than I do, otherwise you'd do something about it like I've been doing for the past five and a half years. That's right -- I'm one of those guys.
I'm going to tell you this once, so read very carefully. Unless you contribute something to Perl 6, your opinion on Perl 6 is absolutely, completely, and unequivocally worthless. it's useless. It's not even worth my time to explain it to you while I could be working on Parrot (but I'm waiting for a compilation, so you get a bonus here).
This is free software, developed entirely by volunteers. You want it sooner? Do something about it, something other than moaning on the Internet about how volunteers aren't working fast or hard enough for you.
Unless you're willing to join the community, rather than expecting that some magic code fairies were just waiting for your stunning brilliance to tell them exactly what they should do without getting your hands dirty, your opinion is worthless, useless, ungrateful, and a complete waste of time.
You are welcome to use the software at any point. The code's been public for years. You're also welcome to wait until we volunteers decide to say "It's ready." If you think that makes you welcome to tell us what to do or how to do it, you're very, very wrong.
Join up or hush up. Your choice.
