The problem with "a traditional interpreter in C" is that Perl6 code can change how it's parsed.
Which means that the easiest language to date with which to write a parser for Perl6, is Perl6.

Which is why the Rakudo implementation is written mostly in Perl6 and NQP (Not Quite Perl).

Speaking of C level stuff there is a new VM designed specifically for the Rakudo implementation of Perl6, MoarVM.
You can also run Rakudo on the JVM.

I have seen many of these things that Christian have vastly different views than other Christians. I also didn't really buy into the stories told to me in Sunday School, so I was a little protected from the belief system.

Thats not to say that I don't view Jesus as a good historical figure, I do, but in the same way I view Budda, Muhammad, Confucius, Martin Luther King Jr., and Ghandi.

That said, I am planning on becoming a Buddist, but just because he created a simple, good, moral framework, and Buddism supports education and the dispersment of knowledge.
