I remember my classmates talked about Perl 6 and the Perl Virtual Machine when I was in High school. Now I'm graduating from college, and Perl 6 still hasn't been released.
Back that time he used Perl while I sticked with Python. Funny how time slips away.
How many of those releases could anyone confidently use in place of Perl 5 in a production environment?
You changed your argument (from "You haven't released any software!" to "I don't think I would use the software you released!".) Even so, the amount of confidence anyone has in any particular Rakudo release depends on who that anyone is, what that anyone uses Perl 5 to accomplish, and what a production environment means to that anyone.
What good is a ticket to the good life, if you can't find the entrance?

We've released a new version of Rakudo Perl 6 every month since December 2007. That's 24 months in a row.

Those were "development" releases. How many of those releases could anyone confidently use in place of Perl 5 in a production environment?
