When a project has been going on for decades, things that have only changed in the last few years are not going to be immediately and obviously understood by people.
The legacy of confusion and weirdness around the Perl 6 project is a legit problem, even/especially if it's no longer true and now Perl 6 is like a normal language.
Rakudo (compiler) and Rakudo Star (full distribution). Both of which have been production-ready since shortly after the Perl 6.c spec release in December 2015.
Your rant would be understandable back before there was a stable spec, especially long before when the in-process language description and the various implementations were sometimes far apart. But it's been years since it had even a remote resemblance to reality.
