Future Directions for Parrot and Rakudo

[Jonathan "Duke" Leto]

Howdy,

The future of Parrot and Rakudo Perl 6 are on divergent paths.

I am dedicated to a successful future for Parrot which is independent
of Rakudo Perl 6.

As soon as Rakudo Perl 6 works on MoarVM (the spiritual successor of
the m0 branch in parrot.git) [0], anything that Rakudo depends on that
is not deemed necessary by Parrot core developers will be removed.

This is not a decision you have the right or authority to make, Jonathan.

Everyone else, please calm down. Parrot architecture decisions have
always been, and will always be, made by open discussion between all
participants in the project. Jonathan has expressed his opinion, and
there are many legitimate reasons to disagree with his opinion.
Discussions will continue.

Howdy,

The code must flow.

I will not force decisions on anybody, but I intend to continue on my path.

If it is not for you, I implore you to find your own.

Jonathan's statement on parrot-dev was the first I heard of it, and as
far as I know wasn't the result of any conversations with anyone. It is
his own personal opinion, which he's entitled to hold, but does not
reflect any official policy of the Parrot project.

So you're saying then that Jonathan's post wasn't an official statement from the
Parrot dev team after the group decided what to do? It certainly read that way

to me. -- Darren Duncan
