Without the development phenomenon of Perl6, it's difficult to see how
Moose and other improvements in perl 5 would have occurred.
Despite the frustrations in following the growth of Pugs, then Rakudo,
it's been fun, worthwhile and inspiring. A bit like life really. Do you
really want it to end? But until it ends, how can you tell what sort of
person you are, or what your achievements have been?
I love Perl6. Rukudo is great - already.

There has been requests and talk of a production release for years now. Fancy

point you have to say it simply isn't a good product or it is going to
production how long are we going to hear excuses of my dog died past week and
the production release is delayed for a year. Perl 6 at this point seems like a
bad dream at best and there really isn't a need since moose and perl 5 have
improved.

Although everything you said is technically true, I must point out
that without a definitive release, potential users will tend to avoid
the software. For people not involved in the process (i.e. 99.995% of
Perl users) it is impossible to know when the software is good enough
