Re^4: when is perl6 as fast as perl5

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.

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

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.	[reply]

Then there's the old classic "changing the subject when no argument can be found" ... The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply]

Just change "Many ~~would~~ say" to "I maintain". Problem solved.	[reply]
