I fully agree. As the saying goes, the perfect is the enemy of the good. The current discussion should just focus on whether the current proposed new solution is significantly better than what Perl has now and thus whether Perl switching to it would be an improvement. Consideration of other algorithms can be their own separate discussions if or when someone comes up with a specific example and makes a case it is better than the winner of the current discussion, including that someone has already committed to do the work etc. -- Darren DuncanThread Previous | Thread Next
