in reply to Parrot vs. C cagematch (Just for fun)

Personally I find it a little sad that Parrot is so much slower than C.

Thinking on a conceptual level, Parrot shouldn't be much more difficult to translate to machine language efficiently than C, hence I expect it to be at least comparable.

Granted, C compilers lived through 30 years of optimizations and there probably isn't such a thing in existence for Parrot, yet.

    spurperl,
    I freely admit it has been more than half a year since I followed Parrot development. I can tell you that there is a constant struggle being waged between finishing specs, getting it to work, and speeding it up. More often then not, the optimizations take a back seat. I would like to think the finished product with optimizations and JIT are more closely comparable to C.

    Cheers - L~R
