tortoise loses to hare due to lack of concurrency (Score:1)

Well, don't wait for user input, just go ahead and finalize sine qua non's like concurrency policy/implementation. Perl6 is already getting lost in the flurry of announcements about new JVM lingos. Something like concurrency support has to be seen as an absolute top priority for any "current" lingo. Perl6 (hopefully) was not conceived of as a nifty-er compiler of digested text reports!

  What do you want from a concurrency system?
