Is Perl 6 sill so damn slow?

  Performance has improved a lot since the initial release: https://perl6advent.wordpress.com/2017/12/16/day-16-%F0%9F%8E%B6-deck-the-halls-with-perf-improvements-%F0%9F%8E%B6/ https://perl6advent.wordpress.com/2017/12/16/day-16-%F0%9F%8...

    Performance improved a lot but it's still very bad. e.g. there is some csv-game[1] where there is perl6 code that used to take 16 minutes but now 'only' takes 5 minutes. perl5 completes the task in <3s.

      Too bad there are is no P6 code on the benchmarks game[1]. Probably a good opportunity to learn P6. https://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org https://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org

        "If you're interested in something not shown on the benchmarks game website then please take the program source code and the measurement scripts and publish your own measurements." https://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/play.html#languagex https://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/play.html#languagex Like this guy does -- https://pybenchmarks.org/ https://pybenchmarks.org/

  It would help a lot if it was x times faster than php7, node etc.
