in thread Perl 5 Optimizing Compiler, Part 6: A Love Letter To Dave Mitchell, chromatic, and BrowserUK

  1. You want to take away their control, Perl is whatever the interp folks says it is
  2. Larry's stack machine architecture never turned out any good, and they've been forced to live with it and defend it
  3. You are a for profit business trying to embrace extend and extinguish their Perl
  4. Many P5P who spent decades with the Perl source code do not want all their work and knowledge they learned to have been in vain
  5. C#, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Java have multiple compilers/interpreters, Perl does not, thats makes Perl special
