Perl 6.


We've released 34 versions of Rakudo. As well, I've had publicly available and working Perl 6 code since 2005.


Building current trunk weekly != release. It was acknowledged that those "releases" are not what people in the "real world" are waiting for (http://use.perl.org/~pmichaud/journal/39411). It was fixed with Star which is a release for "early adopters". It's polished alpha by another name. It's only one little step ahead of vaporware. Can we get over it now?...


> Building current trunk weekly != release.

I agree, and that's why we've had a documented and polished release process for almost three years now.

Existence is a binary condition, and binaries have existed for (almost) three years. A claim of vaporware is trivially dismissable FUD.
