RPerl, Perl 11, and The Future of Perl Performance

—with Will "the Chill" Braswell

DESCRIPTION

RPerl is the new optimizing compiler for Perl 5. Perl 11 is the philosophy of pluggability and the reunification of Perl 5 with Perl 6. We can currently use RPerl to speed up low-magic Perl 5 code with over 300x performance gain. This talk will discuss the future plans for supporting medium-magic and high-magic Perl 5 code, as well as Perl 6, and beyond.

Location: Dallas Makerspace
1825 Monetary Ln, Suite 104, Carrollton, TX 75006
