Re^4: Weekly changes in and around Perl 6

If Perl 6 can perform these tasks even 10% to 20% slower than Perl 5, it could still form a more attractive proposition

I agree. I really meant in the same ballpark, preferably in the same quadrant.

More specifically, if it can recurse; process files and perform math at roughly the same performance as Perl5; I think it would start to get people trying it out. But last time I looked -- a while since -- it was no where near.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
