vkon, 1a. Kurila is a new language. Perl 5 code can be (somewhat) converted into Kurila. Kurila code is NOT Perl 5. 1b. RPerl is strictly a subset of Perl 5. RPerl code IS Perl 5 code. RPerl code will run unmodified by the existing Perl 5 interpreter, and it can also be compiled. 2a. Kurila is not specifically focused on speed. 2b. RPerl is specifically focused on speed. 3a. Kurila is dead. 3b. RPerl is alive. 4a. Kurila is a fork of Perl 5. 4b. RPerl is an upgrade to Perl 5. 5a. Kurila breaks backward compatibility. 5b. RPerl specifically maintains backward compatibility, so compiled RPerl code can be mixed back in with un-compiled Perl 5 code. Does that answer your question about the differences between Kurila and RPerl? Thanks! Perling, ~ Will the Chill	[reply]

vkon, Will you please consider making a pledge to help support the development of RPerl? http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wbraswell/perl-5-optimizing-compiler-rperl-v10/ Thanks! Perling, ~ Will the Chill	[reply]

this "3a" versus "3b" doesn't seem logical to me. the expanded version of question is - "the project A is dead, but there is another recently started project B. What have the project B very special that makes it different from A, hence it will not fail?" with all this summed up, the answer "the project A is failed" does not belong here, don't you feel this way?

vkon, I don't necessarily disagree with you, although I'm not sure it is worthwhile to focus too much on Kurila anyway. RPerl is here, Kurila is gone, that's all, no biggie to me. Thanks, ~ Will	[reply]

vkon, The reason why I said there is "no need to be rude" is because most people (myself included) would consider it rude to claim that their project is "bound to fail". Needless to say, it is a presumptuous and (if I have anything to say about it) untrue statement. Please refrain from making presumptuous and rude statements, thanks! Perling, ~ Will	[reply]

i am expressing my opinion without adding negative emotions... "bound to fail" phrased by someone else, but yes - this is what i think... so hereby i politely state that my opinion is that both rperl and p2 will not gain enough momentum to be publicly recognized as useful. is there a way to have this opinion, share it and be polite?

Re^8: Perl 5 Optimizing Compiler, Part 10: Kickstarter & Performance Benchmarks by Will_the_Chill (Pilgrim) on Nov 30, 2013 at 05:07 UTC
vkon, My honest suggestion is that you simply should not publicly share your opinions of "bound to fail" and other pessimistic predictions. Nobody likes a Debbie Downer, as you can tell by other people telling you they think you are being rude. Thanks! Perling, ~ Will	[reply]

"bound to fail" invented by someone else, but yes - this is what i think... another obvious lie (see Re^3: Perl 5 Optimizing Compiler, Part 9: RPerl.org & The Low-Magic Perl Commandments) is there a way to have this opinion, share it and be polite? You already did that in Re^3: Perl 5 Optimizing Compiler, Part 9: RPerl.org & The Low-Magic Perl Commandments, and you quickly got rude -- now you're just repeating	[reply]

you haven't answered on what makes your project different to kurila, instead - you and your anonymous friend stated some strange comments about inline::c. where do you ask that question ? What a moron	[reply]
