- chrisseaton 4y agoWell yeah compare to Python - Python has multiple alternative implementations, an active academic and industrial research community coming up with new ways to improve performance and add tooling, including revolutionary work such as meta-tracing, has new GC work, has a couple of JITs depending on what tradeoffs you want, new explorations into specialising interpretation. Perl doesn't seem to have anyone making this kind of effort? You're stuck with the tech from decades ago.
