Let's clear up a few things:

1) Much of the future of parrot development is happening outside of
core parrot.git
2) The most advanced implementation of Perl 6 is Rakudo Perl 6,
running on Parrot Virtual Machine. The JVM and MoarVM are running
fast, but still haven't caught up to us.
3) Quality != Quantity != Kwalitee (Something you should know well, Nick)
4) Three genius students are working on amazing projects this summer,
all of which are outside of core parrot.git (parrot-libgit2,
App::Parrot::Create and the Javascript backend to NQP)
5) Your negativity is not appreciated in the Parrot community.

Duke
