When will a traditional interpreter written in C and running just about everywhere be available for Perl 6?<p>All of the successful scripting languages have one: Perl 5 and earlier, Python, Ruby, Tcl, Lua, PHP, and even UNIX shell scripts.<p>Yet when it comes to Perl 6, we just don&#x27;t see that.<p>The Perl 6 community has spun its wheels time and time and time again with half-baked interpreters written in an obscure language like Haskell, or written in Perl 6 itself using half-baked Perl 6 to 5 converters, or targeting the .NET CLR or JVM, or targeting very obscure and limited VMs like Parrot or MoarVM.<p>It&#x27;s no wonder that Perl 6 hasn&#x27;t really gone anywhere after 15 years. They&#x27;ve done everything but the one thing they should be doing if they want success: implementing a traditional interpreter using C that runs just about everywhere!
