Re^2: Spoiled by Perl (JVM/CLR)

in thread Spoiled by Perl

The Java/Microsoft fight of twenty years ago has left us today with what looks to me like an unfortunate legacy: extra work for language implementors ... or is it an extra challenge with the potential to improve the way languages are implemented?

AFAIK, Perl 5 has never seriously run on JVM or CLR. Though Raku has a JVM implementation, the CLR implementation (Niecza) seems to be abandoned. While Python 2 runs on both (Jython, IronPython), the Python 3 port to both these VMs appears to be unfinished - 13 years after the C version of Python 3 was released in 2008!

Note that I don't have any first hand experience here ... opinions/corrections welcome. :)

    ActiveState used to have tools that allowed you to integrate Perl and CLR based stull. The Perl itself was running using its own engine, but you could call one from the other. It makes more sense to do it that way anyway. CLR was not designed for dynamic languages.
