Announce: Niecza Perl 6 v15

    Announce: Niecza Perl 6 v15

This is the fifteenth release of Niecza Perl 6, as usual scheduled on
the last Monday of the month.  No, it's not dead.

Niecza now passes more spectests than Rakudo, but that is not an entirely
fair comparison, and we have the feature matrix now which is much more
useful for such comparisons. [3]

You can obtain a build of Niecza from [1].  This build contains a
working compiler as a set of .exe and .dll files suitable for use with
Mono or Microsoft .NET.  If you wish to follow latest developments,
you can obtain the source from [2]; however, you will still need a
binary for bootstrapping, so you gain nothing from a "source is
better" perspective.

Niecza is a Perl 6 compiler project studying questions about the
efficient implementability of Perl 6 features.  It currently targets
the Common Language Runtime; both Mono and Microsoft .NET are known to
work.  On Windows, Cygwin is required for source builds only; see the
README for details.
