So, like probably many people, I was very hyped about Perl 6 in the early 2000s, followed the mailing lists and so forth, but became disappointed and stopped caring when it became painfully clear that there had been no net progress for a decade.<p>So please excuse my skepticism, because I&#x27;m still fascinated by Perl 6&#x27;s ideas and potential. But is this another &quot;Rakudo Star&quot; where they just take whatever current mess they have and label it &quot;release&quot;, or is Perl 6 really finally ready now?
