i think its worth considering that there are not many production languages available for the jvm because of the lack of demand - typically java is exactly what people want to use when writing software intended to run on a jvm


if people had a task that is suited to perl, then they can use perl :)


if the perl community wants to develop a vm in a hobbiest capacity then this is fine, but imho the world of commercial software construction is moving on to .NET CLR and at least for some time to come the JVM
