At the Yet Another Perl Conference in Europe, Scott Chacon discusses the excitement surrounding the release of Rakudo Star, the first usable implementation of Perl 6, marking a significant milestone for the Perl community after a long phase in specification. Patrick Michaud's talk highlighted this release, which allows developers to experiment with early Perl 6 features and provide feedback. Hosted on GitHub, the Rakudo team is actively developing Perl 6's implementation, inviting users to download and install it from the GitHub repository. Chacon expresses enthusiasm about the Perl community's engagement with GitHub and provides resources for further exploration of Perl 6, such as the official website and a book available on GitHub.
