The thing that excited me about Perl6 was Parrot (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;parrot.org" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;parrot.org</a>), which is supposed to be this very ambitious VM targeting dynamic languages.<p>But unfortunately it seems that Perl6 is Rakudo and they&#x27;ve developed a Rakudo specific VM. Maybe that&#x27;s best for Perl6 the language, but it also makes it less interesting for me.
