I'm not impressed by your repeated claims that "Perl 6 hates concurrency and refuses to do anything about it!" and then your repeated refusal to do anything other than hurl abuse and then your repeated citations of the disinterest of Perl 6 developers of listening to you as evidence that they hate concurrency and refuse to do anything about it.
I think instead that Perl 6 developers (though I only speak for myself) have a disinterest in random abuse.
I (speaking again only for myself, though I believe the sentiment extends beyond myself) welcome proposals, code, and specific use cases and even actionable criticisms from people with concrete experience working with and designing concurrent systems.

Show me this alleged abuse?
Since when has a technical opinion by a person demonstrably familiar with the subject matter; that neither mentions, nor alludes to any individual or group; constitute "hurling abuse"?
Show me where I said: "Perl 6 hates concurrency and refuses to do anything about it!" or "it's too late for Perl 6 or Parrot to do anything sane with concurrency.".
Or any of the myriad other distractions you routinely manufacture to divert from the reality of what I've actually said, and my attempts to engender dialogue on this subject. Here and in other forums.
If you are in a maze, and you encounter a dead end, do you repeatedly bang your head against it and try to break through; or give up and retrace your steps?
Had it been possible to have a coherent dialogue on this subject, I'd still be in there talking. And had it been possible to reach an agreement about a technically sound, achievable approach to achieving this goal; I'd be in there contributing in whatever way I could.
It hasn't; so I'm not.
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

... given the low priority, bordering on active hostility, towards concurrency, achieving the will to correct such problems is very unlikely.

Do you consider those words constructive efforts to engender dialog?
