a worthwhile replacement for Perl 5. I still don't get all this endeavour to re-write P5 in P6. P5 is perfectly embeddable. Just embed perl5xx.dll/.so into the P6 compiler and provide:
Full compatibility at a stroke, and full P5 performance (within the p5 code), and a small hit through the thunking layer. How hard could it be to write the thunking layer? (It's gotta be easier than recreating P5 + XS + everything else.) I effectively do exactly this in my 15-line Perl5 REPL. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
In reply to Re^6: v5, a reimplementation of P5 (was Re^5: A "Perl-7" that I could actually USE right now)
