vkon, I don't necessarily disagree with you, although I'm not sure it is worthwhile to focus too much on Kurila anyway. RPerl is here, Kurila is gone, that's all, no biggie to me. Thanks, ~ Will	[reply]

I was complaining about item in a list, that feels a bit odd, to say the least. Yet, comparing to another project is useful, and worthwhile: this way you're staying on giant's shoulders and can do more things with fewer efforts. BTW I have suspection that Gerard Goessen understands perl internals much better than average person. Do you think you have at least 50% of his skills on internals?? ...and still - he failed.... Why??	[reply]

vkon, I know enough about Perl 5 internals to have successfully created typemaps for numbers, scalars, arrays, and hashes, as well as hand-compiling 1 benchmark application. I am learning more and more as I go along! How much do you know about Perl internals? Thanks! Perling, ~ Will	[reply]

IOW you provide long list on rperl.vs.kurila differences but dont actually care on its correctness, just having invalid entries in it and doing nothing about it? added value of this is exactly zero, then......... sorry	[reply]

vkon, 1a. Kurila is a new language. Perl 5 code can be (somewhat) converted into Kurila. Kurila code is NOT Perl 5. 1b. RPerl is strictly a subset of Perl 5. RPerl code IS Perl 5 code. RPerl code will run unmodified by the existing Perl 5 interpreter, and it can also be compiled. 2a. Kurila is not specifically focused on speed. 2b. RPerl is specifically focused on speed. 3a. Kurila is a fork of Perl 5. 3b. RPerl is an upgrade to Perl 5. 4a. Kurila breaks backward compatibility. 4b. RPerl specifically maintains backward compatibility, so compiled RPerl code can be mixed back in with un-compiled Perl 5 code. Do you like the new list? Thanks! Perling, ~ Will the Chill	[reply]
