And for reference, that was my core roadmap: http://blogs.perl.org/users/rurban/2012/09/my-perl5-todo-list.html This is basically a tiny step to get Perl from a mere scripting to a programming language and use a fast OO, both steps already done in perl6. This is based on the old 200[1-4] status, when there were enough perl5 people around who understood the issues and could talk about it. Most of this is also in the various standard perl books. I left out the ffi, as this could also be done in a library. Currently I'm in favor to add a fast/non-complete HM type inferencer to it, similar to B::CC, but probably with ugly optional type hints in comments or pragmas for CPAN back-compat, as in the various other languages (e.g. mypy). And the VM really needs a complete overhaul, as done in ruby and moar. -- Reini Urban http://cpanel.net/ http://www.perl-compiler.org/Thread Previous | Thread Next
