> it was the success of Pugs that revived the Perl 6 efforts and led to the Rakudo project Note that depending on your point of view, Rakudo actually predates Pugs: It's just that Parrot and Perl6-on-Parrot used to be developed in a single repository, and it wasn't yet called 'Rakudo'. edit: However, NQP (the basis for the current Rakudo architecture) does indeed postdate Pugs (according to the ChangeLog, it first appeared in Parrot release 0.4.15 in 2007).
