A couple of things: WebPerl, and an HN discussion that's already larger than the original announcement 5 years ago. There seems to be interest in this and many people may not be informed. Perl6 is maturing and we need to make these things happen. Maybe time to kickstart something (like rperl did).	[reply]

I’m 110% in favor of the idea, as the slow kids say, and upvoted it. I doubt it’s remotely possible. Rperl, for example, only worked because it removed the deep magick from Perl. Perl6 is extremely hard to make good and fast and appear sooner than 18 years after the trick begins. So, again, I love the idea but I would really, really, really prefer to not hear about it again here unless there is something to run that resembles the proposal. The arguments and infighting are not fun and even less productive. Sidebar: WebPerl is amazing and exactly the right thing to do here and now; and how about the fact that is works now.	[reply]

Rperl, for example, only worked because it removed the deep magick from Perl. I'm no expert in this but according to the RPerl kickstarter page an "RPerl v3.0 High-Magic Serial Compiler For Linux" would cost $30k. Does that (High-Magic) mean it would be a fully-functional Perl that would "run up to 200 times faster than pure Perl, with full backward compatibility" like current RPerl? If so, what do you think would happen if we did have a drop in replacement for perl that's as fast as C++? I ask because that sounds like a good deal, and I can secure the funding. www.kickstarter.com/projects/wbraswell/perl-5-optimizing-compiler-rperl-v10	[reply]

You didn't answer my question: What's new with Rperl and Perl11? WebPerl as such is new but has little in common with your OP. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery FootballPerl is like chess, only without the dice}	[reply]
