Startup time is still egregiously slow compared to Perl 5. But, that couldn't be a major determining factor for people working in languages that are also slow to start (of which there are many, probably one could say most are slower than Perl 5). And, it's not a major concern for long-running applications and services, but for one-liners it feel sluggish.
- lizmat 7y agoIf you realize that Perl 6 basically has Moose in its core, and you compare startup time of Perl 5 with Moose with Perl 6, then it's not that bad at all: $ time perl6 -e '' real 0m0.120s $ time perl -MMoose -e '' real 0m0.131s And that's without all of the fancy type checking stuff of several Moose plugins that comes standard with Perl 6. So in that sense, if you are interested in Moose functionality, you're better of in Perl 6.
