Maybe you should do a little research? Rakudo is backed by the Perl foundation. It's not going away and neither is the MoarVM. Rakudo + MoarVM is going to be "it" going forward I would think. I guess we'll wait and see. That doesn't mean that other compilers won't come along because that is one of the benefits of Perl 6. All the languages you mention have different versions out there. The only one that doesn't is Perl 5 and that's because only Perl can parse Perl. That's going away with Perl 6 and that's good. Rakudo+MoarVM is great. It still leaves the door open for genius to shine. Rakudo + MoarVM is exactly what potential Perl 6 developers want. Everything else is just gravy. I have no idea if Perl 6 will "take off". I hope it gains traction. Watching Larry Wall got me interested enough to install it and start learning it anyway.
