in thread when is perl6 as fast as perl5

"You could also ask when you can expect a Perl 5 that supports easy to use and robust concurrency" ... that's available in Perl (as you know): see the Perl Many-Core Engine.


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    Nice module. But neither native nor core.

      That's not the Perl architectural design. Perl has a lightweight core and a pluggable module system. It works phenomenally well, has done for more than two decades, and made Perl a viable, commercially useful language that continues to provide professional software developers with high-paying jobs.

      Many would say that Rakudo's stubborn insistence on attempting to do All the Things is what condemned it to be not viable, not commercially useful, and the provider of no high-paying jobs for software developers.

        Maybe, but irrelevant to Motriz' comparison. And it's not a hypothetical question, there are lighter languages than Perl natively supporting concurrency.

        Nice try hijacking a Perl 6 thread nevertheless.
