> I suspect everything that's pure Perl is may even be as fast or even faster than regular JavaScript, since WebAssembly should be faster than JavaScript, and it's a WebAssembly perl binary. Really? Is WASM JIT-optimized? I mean if a Perl Op-Code deals with Scalars will it automatically be optimized to integer if some tracker finds that all calls to the surrounding function always result to paths using Int? That would surprise me... > OTOH, at the moment I just want to use this for UI's, so as long as button clicks etc. don't cause 100% CPU or noticeable delays, Don't you think that for little UI callbacks handling some AJAX compiling the whole Perl core to 4 MB WASM is kind of overkill? Gimme some example Perl code for a start and I'll try to "B::Deparse" it into working JS. > monkey patched with XS code. Actually I'm wondering why this is not generally used for JITing Perl. (Probably some weird side effects or performance brakes of calling subs.)
