Not sure what original you are referring to, but the one linked to is in fact titled "How to implement Perl 6 in ten years".

Anyway, both of them are such a mix of incoherent rambling and impenetrable project internals that I feel cheated for the time it took to skim over them...

Aww. :-)

I was referring to the "<h3>...</h3>" tag in the linked article at http://pugs.blogs.com/pugs/2010/04/how-to-implement-perl-6-i... as the title of the blog entry.

I'm truly sorry that you feel cheated. Indeed the article contains nothing about implementing anything in 10 minutes, or anything of that sort. My apologies... :-)

Well I learned something new from this post: Perlito (http://www.perlito.org/).

Its a subset of Perl6 which (according to the github page at http://github.com/fglock/Perlito) compiles to:

  * Perl5
  * Java
  * Javascript
  * Lisp (SBCL)
  * Parrot
  * Go
Sounds interesting!

An online Javascript compiler can be found here: http://www.perlito.org/js/

Yeah, I myself want more articles with pictures of Steve Jobs, or with rumors about the next iPhone, or with rants about how this and that company sucks.

Software is hard, let's go shopping.
