Agreed, "Perl 6 is slow" is a ridiculous takeaway from a benchmark of process start times.

Agreed, "Perl 6 is slow" is a ridiculous takeaway from a benchmark of process start times.
- lizmat 7y agoEspecially if you would compare a "Modern Perl 5" startup sequence, which would involve using the `Moose` module (as Perl 6 has that built in). Then startup times are basically the same.
- microtherion 7y agoSo the argument against Perl 6 being slow is "if you use it properly, Perl 5 can be just as slow" ?
- futureastronaut 7y agoIt's more like saying "the conventional P5 runtime is about as heavy as the distributed P6 one", seems fair to me.
