Parent article: Parrot 2.2.0 released

I don't understand the criticism of Perl 6 as not a "working language". It
has been included in Fedora 12

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Rakudo_Perl_6

They do very frequent releases on a regular schedule and it is already used
by folks albeit in a limited fashion but that is not different from say,
Python 3. So it would be prudent to understand the current status before
being critical.

And what can I do with it?

Specifically, in Debian I now see parrot already included in Squeeze, Rakudo is still in Experimental, but 0 other packages depend on parrot.

You can write a Perl 6 program with it obviously :-) The formal release is
next month.
