I would very strongly prefer to see a focussed effort towards a single full implementation. There are many important benefits to having several implementations, including fun and education. But commercially and marketing-wise, it's better to first assemble something that *works*, then to optimize its performance. In terms of priority, the compatible alternative implementation should come third, not first. It would be unwise to fund multiple implementation projects, and raising those funds would be unnecessarily hard. Many people feel that Perl 6 is going nowhere. Best thing the community can do, is to show them that Perl 6 is getting somewhere. Every destination is most quickly reached by travelling in a straight line. -- Met vriendelijke groet, Kind regards, Korajn salutojn, Juerd Waalboer: Perl hacker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://juerd.nl/sig> Convolution: ICT solutions and consultancy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
