=head2 Is there going to be a Perl 6 version 6.0.0?
The version of the first stable language version is called v6.c, not 6.0.0.
The different naming scheme makes it unlikely that there will ever be a release
of the language with the exact version 6.0.0.
No. The first stable language specification version is v6.c ("Christmas"). Future
versions of the spec may have point releases (e.g. v6.c.2), or major releases
(e.g. v6.d)
You can check your Rakudo compiler is at least the current release version
(note this may not be true of vendor binaries) with the following:
perl6 -e 'say q[too old] if $*PERL.version before Version.new(q[6.c])'
It was first implemented by the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler version 2015.12 and is
likely to be supported by subsequent releases for the foreseeable future by use
of the 'use 6.c' pragma. The next language version (no release date) is to be
v6.d.
of the 'use 6.c' pragma.
