Having closely followed these threads, plus based on some private correspondence, my gut reaction is that there is no system discussed so far which meets all of the following criteria:

  • handles all (or practically all) existing Perl syntax and semantics;
  • doesn't require modification of existing Perl source (e.g. requiring you to add type declarations);
  • provides an order-of-magnitude speed-up for general Perl code; (e.g. 5X rather than 10%);
  • doesn't require a huge coding effort (of a similar magnitude to implementing parrot and perl6)

I'm not saying at this point that all of the proposals definitely fail these criteria; rather that no-one has yet explained any proposal to me in such a way that I have a real "Ooh I see how that might work!" epiphany; and my suspicion is that no-one ever will.

Dave.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
