<p>I agree pretty much totaly. ("Never say never".)</p>
<p>This is going to be one of the nice things about perl6 -- you can nicely mix both styles, and declare a hash with limited namespace, each entry of which has a specific type, and thus get somthing like a C struct with known size and thus more optimizable.</p>
<p>You can also have limited namespace but not declare the types of the entries strictly. Or pretty well anything else you can think of.</p>
<p>Because the parrot virtual machine resembles a real machine, we can pull on all the experince with compiler optimization to real (register) machines.</p>
