in thread Is perl scalable?
You mean incremental compilation like Hotspot does? That's a bit different, since it's compiling from bytecode to machine language. I wonder if a just-in-time compiler would make a difference in Perl performance. Then again, it's already as fast or faster than Java for everything I've ever tried, so maybe it isn't worth the complexity. |

The end result of incremental compilation, though, is code translated to machine instructions. That's what most people think of when they think of compiled languages. Incremental compilation just throws a delay into the works.
