Parrot was once the future of Perl. It may not be that anymore, but it *still* runs Rakudo at this moment. And that is more or less the most advanced version of Perl 6. It's also extremely unlikely to recover from its contributor crash: https://www.ohloh.net/p/parrot > Do you really want to split up the Perl community? If anything, there could be a nicer way to bring this to the people that are trying to keep Parrot going for as long as it needs. Yes, it really doesn't belong here. The objection is nothing about community. It's off topic. This is a very specific list about development for the perl 5 core. The parrot announcements belong here about as much as they belong on (say) the jobs list. Or about as much as Moose release announcements belong here. Or Rakudo announcements. Both of which are more relevant, and neither of which are mailed to this list. If they belong on *any* perl list, I'd argue that it's the advocacy list. But I don't think that it really belongs there either. Nicholas ClarkThread Previous | Thread Next
