A happy announcement

...

Rakudo Star is aimed at "early adopters" of Perl 6.  
We know that it still has some bugs, 
  it is far slower than it ought to be, and
  there are some advanced pieces of the Perl 6 language 
  specification that aren't implemented yet.  
But Rakudo Perl 6 in its current form is also proving to 
be viable (and fun) for developing applications and 
exploring a great new language.
