I don't think Microsoft's so-called ".NET Implementation Language" (I love
how they appropriate words that are commonly used for other things; which as
Simon noted makes searching hard anyway :) is really a "key" target for
Perl6. For that matter, neither is the JVM.
I *think* that the consensus is that we should make it easy for people who
want to port to the JVM, or the so-called ".NET Implementation Language".
As the JVM porter, I'd like my life easy, but I don't expect perl6 to hand
me a JVM implementation---I just want to right components and interfaces so
it is not as hard as a job as it is for perl5.
