How can you expect people to treat this seriously if you don't have a core? The project has been around 12 years, I mean Perl 1 to about Perl 5 was done in a shorter amount of time and supports more platforms than you can shake a stick at!

If you having fun doing it, that is certainly a good reason for you to continue with it. However, I find it hard for people to consider it serious if you cannot commit to a core set of features by now.
