Re^10: A $dayjob Perl 6 program that runs 40x faster on the JVM than on Parrot

You guys are relentless aren't you?

From the first Rakudo/JVM "hello world" to being able to run substantial programs such as the subject of this thread took a further 6 weeks. Again, iirc, diakopter estimates that getting Rakudo/MVM to the same place will take about the same time.

Of course, things might not go according to plan. But my point is to respond to chromatic's misleading FUD -- "if MoarVM ever runs any Perl 6 code".

You guys are relentless aren't you? I made the clownshoes comment It is you who are relentless If I were a voter, I'd ++ your original post, and your first replies (re^2) , but everything after that I would have -- for being obscenely idiotic For thirteen years I've been reading how next week perl6 will be finished, or that feature will be finished, or .... its the oldest running joke about perl6 So if something good happened and you report on it, that is great But when you start arguing technical points with rumor and out of context quotes, you're not making friends I love perl, I'm optimistic about perl6, but if you keep this nonsense up, it will be impossible to discuss perl6 in any way shape or form on perlmonks Bridle your enthusiasm, cause you're not doing perl any favors	[reply]

Does it pass any of the Perl-6 spec tests right now? No? Then stop whinging.	[reply]

Imagine a place where folk were led to believe a lie -- that Perl was floundering. Floundering so much there might be no updates in 2014. Then someone says "If the Perl community ever releases any updates in 2014". That would be FUD. It's got nothing to do with what spectests those 2014 updates are passing right now. the celebrity tell-all of the Perl-6 cult	[reply]

It's a yes or no question. Can you answer it? Just one word, yes or no. Does Moar pass any Perl-6 spec tests /right now/? Yes or no. Surely even a cultie like you can give one straight answer.	[reply]
