I&#x27;d like to use Perl 6, but after 15 years of waiting there still isn&#x27;t an implementation ready for production use.<p>Rakudo and MoarVM clearly aren&#x27;t what we, as potential Perl 6 developers and users, want.<p>They look far too similar to the many other similar Perl 6 failures we&#x27;ve seen.<p>How are we to trust that Rakudo won&#x27;t go the way of Pugs, or that MoarVM won&#x27;t go the way of Parrot, leaving us in a lurch?<p>Even if they do remain viable, we don&#x27;t want to have to deal with separate VMs, regardless of whether they&#x27;re specific to Perl 6 or not.<p>We don&#x27;t want to deal with the bugs and compatibility issues that invariably pop up when dealing with separate compilers and VMs.<p>Like I said, we want the Perl 5, Ruby, Python, Lua, and Tcl type of experience.<p>We want there to be one consistent implementation that&#x27;s widely used and trusted.<p>We want something proven and familiar.<p>Unfortunately, we aren&#x27;t getting that with Rakudo and MoarVM, nor from the many other unsuccessful attempts in the past.
