Amon2,Harriet, Localizer,
Minilla, Test::Requires,
etc.

This is Rakudo Star, a useful,
usable Perl 6 distribution for
"early adopters".
曰く､

Products
• nqp: Perl6 subset, to write Perl6 interpreter
• rakudo: One of Perl6 implementation

VM Support
• Parrot: VM for…
• MoarVM: VM for Perl6
• JVM: VM for Java ← Today’s topic

Because, I’m using
Java for $DAYJOB

You can use java
libraries, instead of poor
Perl6 libraries.

perl6-j is probably useful
for Java developers
