While the other backends mostly implement the same features as the Parrot backend, some bits are still missing that lead to module build problems or test failures. -We hope to provide a JVM-based and MoarVM-based Rakudo Star releases soon. +We hope to provide experimental JVM-based and MoarVM-based Rakudo Star +releases in April 2014. There are some key features of Perl 6 that Rakudo Star does not yet handle appropriately, although they will appear in upcoming releases. Some of the not-quite-there features include: + * The core of Rakudo::Debugger is now part of Rakudo + itself and works across all backends. + * "make" no longer itemizes its arguments. + * for-loops at the statementlist level are now sunk by default. + * better parsing of unspaces and formatting codes inside Pod blocks. * advanced macros * threads and concurrency (in work for the JVM and MoarVM backend) * Unicode strings at levels other than codepoints |
