Pact is live and in-use in enterprise settings on our permissioned blockchain platform; you can download the interpreter which when launched with "-serve" presents the RPC REST API, allowing you to write whole applications with just the interpreter; indeed there's a sample "TODO MVC" app showing just how easy this is (see https://github.com/kadena-io/pact/blob/master/README.md).

As for a public platform, stay tuned, we will have an annoucement very soon. Suffice to say for now: any work you do using Pact will have a public chain to run on in the very near future; you can use the O/S releases to develop Pact; and if you have an idea about permissioned (think "B2B only") blockchain applications, get in touch!
