in reply to If Parrot comes, can Rakudo be far behind?

I have it straight from the mouth of one of the Perl6 developers: Christmas 2009 will be a bit too soon. But it is very probable(*) that 2010 will see exiting developments in Perl6.

(*) Barring any unforeseen circumstances such as the untimely heat death of the universe, Earth being destroyed by a large meteor or a crisis in the financial sector.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
