There are several incomplete implementations in development.

I mentioned they were feature incomplete, but as far as I know they do compile and run. I could be wrong, I have only begun to scratch the surface of Perl6 with the aim of having aXML ready for it when it comes out... it appears I have quite some time :)

Ian Hague donated $200,000

I wasn't aware of that fact.

You can probably count core contributors on both hands with fingers left over.

I was basing that estimate on the experience of having visited the Perl6 irc channel where I found dozens of connected usernames and presumed them to be the subset of people who happened to be online at the same time as me. It looked very much like the Perl6 community is active and sizeable.

I think a reasonable...

Oh I heartily agree, as far as I can tell it's not yet complete and the performance is currently terrible. Having said that, it's still a long way from true to say that Perl6 is a pipedream that will never materialise!

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.
