That sounds a bit like the No True Scotsman fallacy. (What makes a project "real" or "significant"?) Regardless, why should that matter? How many real projects do you know of based on Java 7, or even Python 3? (Python 3 is older than Perl 6.)
- bad_user 17y agoSorry, that came out wrong. I actually took a look at Parrot ... great tools for language designers, flexible type-system (oh god, the type system in the JVM is horrible). I really hope you guys can pull it through. I was judging from my POV ... I want to implement a language than I can use as soon as the parser is finished (I'm not enough of a man to implement my own VM or to deal with non-mainstream choices, although that may prove to be better long-term).
- chromatic 17y agoOur biggest lack right now is of documentation for the compiler tools. I hope to address that in the next few months.
