I confess I don't quite understand this. Than first advertised by whom?

Somehow this reminds me of TV advertising. :-) What I remember (subjectively and from a perspective of a wannabe on the sidelines) was that Perl6 was going to be this great revolution in interpreted languages, where everything was going to be built on the Parrot ( a universal assembly language), and this would allow for Python, Perl5, Ruby (and whoever else wanted in) code to be seamlessly inlined into Perl6 code.

Now if my impressions were wrong, you can point that out, but I think many others were given the same impression. Maybe it was just part of the Parrot hype.... and Perl6 shouldn't be blamed for it....but it all has become confusing to me.

Can you estimate how long it will be before Perl6 can be compiled from C, like Perl5?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
