Re^5: MoarVM update

How long till Perl6 passes its tests then? Those few years plus what? Another few years? What's the current estimate?

My guess is never.

Does P5 pass every test for every platform it runs on? Or does it have some skips and todos?

Oh boy… are we comparing something that’s not quite perl failing at even being not quite perl, to something that passes pretty much all its vast library of tests on every single release on every sane platform and even some less sane ones? Are we really having a pissing contest between two wildly different things with two immensely different requirements?

Honestly, that just rubs me the wrong way.

Sorry. That's not what I was trying to do. I was trying to find common vocabulary so we can compare like with like. I used the term "100%", and Jenda appears to have interpreted that to mean I was saying "pretty much all, ignoring inapplicable tests on obscure platforms". I wasn't expecting that. When I said "100%" I meant 100%. I have a tendency to be overly literal sometimes, and maybe this is an example. the celebrity tell-all of the Perl-6 cult	[reply]
