There is no GIL in EVM as well, but playing with the words you make it look like "all are the same". This does not deserve top HN and just stupid.
If your Perl6 VM is _so_ great, why didn't you mention anything about what's really important like preemptive scheduling which has been Erlang's unbeatable feature since the beginning? Less hype and more details, please.
