in reply to Perl Is So Slow, but Why?
Isn't this exactly the design goal for Perl 6? Here's Conway's quote from that page:
"The Perl 6 design process is about keeping what works in Perl 5, fixing what doesn't, and adding what's missing. That means there will be a few fundamental changes to the language, a large number of extensions to existing features, and a handful of completely new ideas. These modifications, enhancements, and innovations will work together to make the future Perl even more insanely great -- without, we hope, making it even more greatly insane."
Plus, it's here now with Pugs, so you can start getting excited right away.
P.S. Apple OS on the new Intel platform has to run legacy code in a slow emulation layer. Why does the NYT think Apple has it so good?
