<p>OK, so maybe not yet, but [moritz] blogged about [http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs/src/perl6/sprixel|sprixel], <i>"a new Perl 6 compiler in its early stage of development, written in JavaScript and using the standard Perl 6 grammar STD.pm."</i></p>
<p>To quote from [http://perlgeek.de/blog-en/perl-6/announcing-sprixel.html|moritz's blog]:</p>
<blockquote><p>Sprixel (an anagram of perlsix) development was initiated by Matthew Wilson, aka [diakopter]. It traverses the Abstract Syntax Tree as produced by STD.pm, transforms it into an intermediate JavaScript data structure similar to JSON (but with some enhancements to handle cyclic structures), and has a small, continuation based runloop that executes the JavaScript. Currently the only backend is the V8 compiler and virtual machine - but if/when the STD grammar is implemented, you'll be able to run Perl 6 in your browser.</p></blockquote>
<p>Great work! The future looks brighter already.</p>
