in thread Perl 5 Optimizing Compiler, Part 4: LLVM Backend?

The schedule I'm committing to is to have something (anything!) to demo by YAPC::NA 2013.

For some reason, I thought you wanted this project done by then. If you're doing your research now and putting together plans to make some sort of proof of concept, then presenting some findings by next year is very reasonable.

If I can't get the whole project done by YAPC::NA 2013 (which I am sure everybody here is willing to consider likely), then I'm going to try my best to get us as far as possible so we can have something impressive to demo at least. Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and be able to speed up some parts of Perl quite a bit in a year, or at least prove that it will be possible given X amount of effort.	[reply]

I can't promise I'll have much volunteer time to help, but if you put together a mailing list, I'm willing to participate when I can.	[reply]

chromatic, Thank you very much for your offer to help where possible, that means alot. I will definitely set up a mailing list, do you have any preferences on list providers, services, configuration, etc? Thanks, ~ Will	[reply]
