Hi Chris,
In addition to Patrick's excellent reply, I'd like to mention that one
way to help the project is to just write code in Perl 6. This is a good
way to find bugs, including performance bugs.
One little project I'm doing is I'm porting the benchmarks from the
Debian language shootout to Perl 6. I figure this is a good place to
start because each benchmark is designed to test one specific aspect of
the language. I've only done a couple of benchmarks. If you are
interested, why don't you help me? Porting benchmarks is a good way to
learn Perl 6.
Cheers,
Daniel.
