Yeah, I was hoping that Larry might have realized that this "community rewrite of Perl" isn't cutting it, and was secretly rewriting Perl to give us something that will just work, and not something that will try to run Lisp, Python, Ruby, .NET, Cobol, Brainfuck, etc.
Of course I also hoped that K&R were secretly writing D to replace C and kill off (the abortion called) C++, and that never happened either. Unfortunately, as Perl6 flounders and seems like it will never happen, some people are jumping ship and going to lesser languages like Python. Sigh. Not me. I have been involved in quite a few projects which never went anywhere because the TODO list kept growing (mostly due to management and sales sluts), making completion impossible. I could be wrong, but it seems like Perl6 may fall into this category, for different reasons. Perl6 has the potential to be the language of the century, IMHO, but as long as it tries to be everything to everybody, it will never get done.
