in reply to Announce: Rakudo Star - a useful, usable, "early adopter" distribution of Perl 6

I have tried it on windows, and apparently it's 3 times slower than Perl 5

I have tried it with a simple command like this:

perl -e "print 'Hello world!'" 
# VS 
perl6 -e "print 'Hello world!'"

• Don't compare it to Perl 5 right now because it's Rakudo Star (though the executable named "perl6")
• The team focuses on correctness rather than performance, so I guess it's expected.

Anyway, feel the moving of Perl 6 development and have fun!
