A comment on Larry Wall's Perl 6 Release Talk [video]. Parent comment
Oh, I don't think that ever happened.
That might be a reference to viv, which was used to implement STD (cf http://perl6.org/compilers/std-viv ).
There was also the initial idea that Perl 6 could run Perl 5, but this is proving impossible.
Personally, if Rakudo ever starts outperforming Perl5 for practical workloads, I believe that idea might eventually be revisited.
