In other words, reality is lazily evaluated and is written in Haskell ?
- reinhardt 11y agoNot really, most of it is just hacked together with perl: https://xkcd.com/224/ https://xkcd.com/224/
- shiggerino 11y agoPerl 6 has lazy evaluation, doesn't it?
- colomon 11y agoLazy lists, anyway. As far as I know there's no built-in support for lazy scalar evaluation.
- marcosdumay 11y agoWhat does Perl 6 not have?
- chromatic 11y agoUsers.

- lambda 11y agoHmm, I figure it's more the the optimizer depends on code not exhibiting undefined behavior, like in C. It's not really the case that it's lazily evaluated, just the the causality gets screwy when you try to observe things in an asynchronous system without any kind of coherent memory model.
- Xophmeister 11y agoReality wouldn't type check.
- jackweirdy 11y agoThe fastest anything can travel is the speed of light, which is the speed perceived when a result is already calculated and held in a CPU cache. For everything else, it must be loaded from RAM, Disk, Network and perhaps also operated upon - which can never be as fast as the speed of light.
