I was at OSCON for this announcement and some folks seem pretty excited
about it. For those of you who don't see why this matters, I think the
main issue is migration from perl 5 to perl 6. This will allow a slow
migration because you can upgrade to perl 5 running on ponie first,
then to perl 6. Basically, it allows the two projects to be somewhat
decoupled.
And it stands for: Ponie: Perl On New Internals Engine
Details are here: http://opensource.fotango.com/ponie/
I think 2 open sourcers who work at fotango are allowed to work half of
their actual work time on this project. Pretty cool of them (fotango)
to do that.
