vkon,

Maybe you're right and there is some overlap in the meaning of the points on this list. Suffice it to say that RPerl is about speed and maintaining backward compatibility with existing Perl 5 and XS. Kurila is not.

Does that help?

Thanks,

    so the list should have been much shorter?
    not 5 items, but rather 1? or even zero items in this list??

    I am okay with small or even empty list, but the wrong one - stuffed with obviously wrong and repeated data - I want to trash it entirely and avoid it...

    Was it intentionally made visually bigger to look longer??

      Hi vkon,

      You seem to think that RPerl and Kurila are the same project. This is not true. Perhaps you could investigate both projects more closely, then make your own list of similarities and differences?

      This would help me understand your point of view.

      Thanks!

      Perling,

        these are very different approaches, but there is some thing that makes these 2 very similar, ...

        there is one point (at least) where kurila had much more chances compared to rperl: it was lead by a very smart leader, who 1) deeply understood p5 internals, and 2) when asked for something provided quite thoughtful answers, instead of stuffing some list with repeated and wrong entries, for the only sake to make it bigger,

        In a sence, we have a score 2:1, kurila currently wins.

        It could be that the score will change in a future, but right now I do not see something that will really make rperl win this (imaginary) battle....
