Hang on..

You still don't give us the complete details. If the JVM effort was underway doesn't it make sense to finish it and then start on something else?

We still don't have a feature complete stable release on one VM. What is the whole point in producing half complete implementations on so many VM's. While efforts could have rather spent on producing one feature complete stable implementation on one VM.

As of now it really looks like there are too many abandoned projects, too many re writes and too many sub project time sinks preventing anything worthwhile to come out of this whole exercise

If anything adding MoarVM to picture now. The entire Perl 6 production release got delayed by another 2 years. Porting Rakudo to MoarVM looks like a 6-8 month exercise and after all that you wouldn't have added a single user facing enhancement to the whole product.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
