Re^2: Parrot vs. C cagematch (Just for fun)

Note that this is going to be much slower than both Parrot and C. .. I'd be surprised if Perl 6 actually gets compiled to Parrot that is as efficient as the handrolled code above.

Yes, on my machine, the perl5 version used double the parrot cpu, and near 75% longer. Maybe Perl6 will do a bit better. It does look like Inline::Parrot could replace Inline::C in some circumstances. Parrot looks easy enough to understand.

Actually, there is a Perl6/Pugs version of mandel here. And Autrijus actually used this as his basis for the early Pugs->Parrot compiler. You can read more about it here. -stvn	[reply]
