I tried this and I like it.

The go backend does not work for me because it assumes a 64-bit system
and I am on 32 still (6c rather than 8c).  I could probably patch this.

The python one worked fine.

I looked at everything I could find on the web and in the distribution
for information about future plans for perlito but could not find much
so I'll ask here.

Is anyone using it ?

How far do you (Flavio) plan to continue working on it ?

I have some things I'd like to try in perl 6 but I don't really have
time to get the whole rakudo/parrot thing up and running.
