A Perl 6 status update

Remember Perl 6? Here is a status update by Patrick Michaud on the development of this new language. "Even though the new implementation is only a couple of weeks old, we already see huge gains in the quality and extensibility of the compiler, and in the ability for others to participate in its development. Because the current implementation is so new, I'm reluctant to hazard a guess as to an anticipated pace of development going forward, other than to say it should be much faster than what has been. I do tend to think that we'll be reaching the 'workable implementation' stage in a matter of weeks instead of months or years."
