Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Perl 6 still considerably slower than Perl 5?

- cygx 8y agoAs a rule of thumb, that's probably still accurate. But there are specific areas where Rakudo on MoarVM already outperforms the Perl5 interpreter (eg an object creation benchmark was mentioned elsewhere). I suspect the scale will eventually tilt in Perl6's favour, but is has been slow going...
