> But reinterpreting them as a technical list of things that are supported or unsupported, there are some commandements that will hinder RPerl to become ever usable for me: Well the question seems to be, if a compatibility mode would be offered, to run "impure" code at "normal" speed. Otherwise I have problems to see the manpower coming to port old CPAN modules. But if use types really means that variables must be typed, together with all other restrictions, this would just be a C (or C++) with Perlish syntax (and consequently a different language) Which isn't necessarily useless. I could still imagine this to be useful as an inline language ( Inline::RPerl ) to avoid XS for inner loops where performance matters. (which would also solve the compatibility issue) Rather not as a replacement for Perl in total... > For me, personally, the "Low-Magic Perl Commandements" do not really read like a technical list of things that are supported or unsupported. This religious approach is really disturbing ...
