Since, for the most part, "Perl 6" = Parrot + Rakudo [1], the big moment (IMO) will be when Rakudo hits 1.0. There should be a serious spike in interest at that point.

Hopefully the Perl community will take advantage of that spike. For example, it would be cool to see mod_perl6/mod_parrot hit stable at around the same time. Maybe even along with some key modules recoded in Perl 6 too (for webapps, maybe CGI::Application?).

[1]: Yes, I realize Perl 6 is the spec, but my guess is that Parrot + Rakudo will be the canonical implementation.
