Hi! Please consider following me on twitter: @hanekomu.

"Rakudo Star" - Perl 6 will be released in Spring 2010

During YAPC::Europe 2009 in Lisbon, Patrick Michaud, the Rakudo Compiler Pumpking, has just announced that Perl 6 will be released in Spring 2010. It will not be complete, but it will be usable and useful. After all, people will only start using Perl 6 when it is "complete" (whatever that is - when will Perl 5 be complete?), but Perl 6 applications drive the development of the compiler because it helps to find bugs.

It will be called "Rakudo Star". An official announcement will follow.
