Re^4: Perl 5 Optimizing Compiler, Part 8: The Book Of RPerl

Sorry it was confusing. The basic idea is that there are some promising new software projects, and this was a bit of a marketing piece to get people interested in working on something new and exciting and important.

I can probably tell you the most about the RPerl project because that's the one I'm personally working on. It is a low-magic-Perl5 to C++ compiler and can give significant speed improvements, I've got 200x increase in my hand-compiled sorting code.

Is that what it was? :-P My advice: stick to what you do well (programming). Let someone else handle the marketing.

[Will_the_Chill]

Internal marketing! To drum up interest among the Perl community in the new important projects.

Right. Do you judge it to have been successful?
