in reply to Perl 6 release date

Well I'll put in a vote for:

2004-07-30 (July 30th, 2004 (My 30th))

But I hope its much, much sooner. I'm glad I have parrot-0.0.8 to play with *right now* but I want a fully fledged language, with an O'Reilly book to boot! Seeing Damian Conway talk on perl6 was great - I only wish I was about 10,000x more of a programmer than I am so I could help out with development!!!

    It's 2014 folks and Perl 6 still isn't released yet. We've waited fourteen long years. What can we do to accelerate this process.

    There's a lot of us in our 30 thirties now that don't want Perl to be a dead language.

    We invested time in learning it, and would like it to mean something on our resumes and on production servers everywhere.

    Please don't let python kick our ____ now.
