Well, no, these are all slow interpreted languages. There is no reason to invest any time into another one just as slow in 2019.

- Ultimatt 7y agoWat? Consider Perl was created in 1987 when compute resources were things like the Apple II with a Motorola 68020 at 16 MHz with 4MB of RAM. Exactly what do you imagine was the reaction back then? Something being "interpreted" (which Perl 6 is not any more than C# or Java or JavaScript) simply doesn't matter given modern computers, and things like JIT at runtime are hugely valuable even in languages like C. Some interpretation is better than upfront compilation.
