in thread Perl 5 Optimizing Compiler, Part 9: RPerl.org & The Low-Magic Perl Commandments
Since "magic" has a specific meaning within perl, can I suggest you use some other term?
To expand upon the RPython issue: RPython is not intended for writing general code; its intended specifically only for writing interpreters; within that limited use case, it makes sense to have a language similar to python, but highly restricted (in particular, static typing).
In the RPerl case, you seem to be targetting it towards general code, where you mark limited sections of your code as targets for optimisation. The problem seems to me that your restrictions are so severe (no regexes!!!!) that virtually no real-life code is amenable to any speed-ups.
Dave.
