in reply to Parrot, threads & fears for the future.

If anyone is still in any doubt that the future is indeed threaded, then read this & this. (Updated link for some that don't require subscription.)

And do not let your distaste for one or more of the companies involved allow you to be dissuaded of the importance of their endevour. They did not get to be "industry giants" by spending large sums of money on a whim.

Now, if only the potential of Perl 6 & Parrot as a player in this brave new world could be demonstrated, maybe they would consider investing in its development. It's a nice thought anyway.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
