    There are basically 3 sane ways to do P5/Rakudo interop:

    1. let Rakudo parse Perl5 (-> v5)
    2. call into libperl via Rakudo's C FFI (-> Inline::Perl5)
    3. properly integrate the Perl5 object system into 6model (-> diakopter's grant)

    All of these approaches have their pros and cons.

      There are basically 3 sane ways to do P5/Rakudo interop:

      Given:

      1. all the years put into libperl;
      2. plus the fact that it is a moving target;
      3. and that it is known to be, as near as makes no difference, impossible to emulate all its functionality, quirks and bugs with any degree of accuracy

      I'd say that there is only one sane way to do P5/Rakudo interop, and that's your option 2.

      Which as I read it, is what the OP is announcing.

    Very "helpful" attitude you show here. You seem to have appointed yourself to be "the crusader against helping Perl6 move along". Please do us all a favour and go away.

    A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

    Is it really taking Perl 6 this long (14 years) to become useful?

      Nope. It's taking Perl6 fourteen years to become a few months from being useful. Again.
