You can always rely on the power of quantum computing:

That's like choosing the Large Hadron Collider to pop your corn, just because it has a long and impressive name. It might get there eventually, but it takes an awful long time.

Below, Quantum::Superpositions::any() takes 15 whole seconds to do what List::MoreUtils::any() does in 0.1 second. (plain ol'grep is quicker still!)

Don't be overly impressed with the spiel, Q::S is just a bunch of (s-l-o-w) loops underneath:

@a=1..1000; cmpthese -1,{ a=>q[ my$n=0; for my $i (1..1000) { Quantum::Superpositions::any( +@a ) eq $i and ++$n } ], b=>q[ my$n=0; for my $i (1..1000) { List::MoreUtils::any{ $i eq $_ + } @a and ++$n } ], };; (warning: too few iterations for a reliable count) s/iter a b a 15.4 -- -99% b 0.103 14834% --

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
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.

The start of some sanity?
