Re^3: Last best chance to rename "Perl6" ?

How about frtn? That represents the number of years since announce to the first release becoming available. That said, perhaps the Fortran folk might get a bit pissed :)

Meh, just making fun of a convoluted situation. Personally, I have no investment either way. I've dabbled with perl6 here and there a bit, but not to the point I've created anything of value with it. In other words, I don't mind observing questions on the topic, but at this time, I'm too busy to delve any further into it.

I did notice when I have played with it that the start up time was abysmal (relative to perl5). I write a lot of software that is very long running, which makes startup time irrelevant. However, most Perl users/writers I know are wanting/writing scripts that don't loop forever and simply perform a few tasks which demand quick start up time. Has the VM layer startup time been improved?

Has the VM layer startup time been improved? You might be interested in Jonathan Worthington's talk Perl 6 performance update here: https://youtu.be/S5iVBlk7pdg?t=16773. They're doing some really impressive work on optimizations, although sadly not on startup time - yet `:-)`	[reply] [d/l]

start up time was abysmal Does it really meaningfully impact one's productivity when it's 340ms (cold)/150ms (warm) instead of 30ms (cold)/10ms (warm)? (About the same as three years ago.) Mind you, the comparison becomes more fair once you also load Moose, Perl6::Junctions and many more that you get for free. `› time echo -n \| perl6 real 0m0,339s user 0m0,222s sys 0m0,058s › time echo -n \| perl6 real 0m0,124s user 0m0,151s sys 0m0,027s › time echo -n \| perl6 real 0m0,122s user 0m0,142s sys 0m0,034s › time echo -n \| perl6 real 0m0,123s user 0m0,140s sys 0m0,038s › time echo -n \| perl6 real 0m0,124s user 0m0,147s sys 0m0,031s › time echo -n \| perl6 real 0m0,123s user 0m0,140s sys 0m0,035s` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
