It's probably God forbid any scripting language in this situation. However if forced I would much prefer Perl over Python or Ruby because Perl catches far more errors at compile time.

Nice. Here are some interesting non-macro variants, first in Rebol: select: func [block] [ totals: [] parse block [ set this word! 'from set coll word! (totals: map-each n (get coll)

These are also nice and would like to join in the party :) map *.total, @orders; # perl6 @orders.map: *.total; # perl6 OO map {$_->total} @orders; # perl5 orders map(total) # Io map-each n or

For OP reference here are a few CSV modules on CPAN (Perl) that maybe handy: * DBD::CSV - Treats your CSV file like it was a RDBMS so can use SQL to inspect/change it - https://metacpan.org/module/DBD::CSV * Parse::CSV - For parsing large

Many thanks for all the subsequent up votes on this. Not sure my answer really deserves it but thanks :) For those that don't know... Perl development is on a fixed annual release schedule. Every April the release candidate for next versi

Perl 5.14 is still supported at least until 5.18 is released (due very soon!). Also it will receive any critical security patches for another year after this.

Other languages in those pidigits benchmarks (Perl, Lua, PHP, Racket, Lisp SBCL and probably more) also use the GMP maths library. So there is nothing stopping Ruby benchmarks also using it as well (just need to request relevant Ruby GMP

And ditto for Perl: PDL - http://pdl.perl.org However I think the basis of these benchmarks is really to pit languages against each other and not it's frameworks/libraries.

by draegtun 14y ago
I'm wondering if the OP is trying to point out that Ruby 2.0 is slower on these benchmarks than 1.9?
412.
by draegtun 14y ago
I don't think Numpy is allowed or used in these benchmarks. However GMP is and that's why pidigits is so much slower on Ruby.

It's very similar in that they both expose the OO inner workings but after that they're quite different. Perl requires a blessed reference (which doesn't have to be a hash but often it is the best option!) which only contains the objects st

by draegtun 14y ago
The actual statement Larry Wall gave wasn't that bad... I thought Perl 5 had an oversimplified object system till I saw Lua. In Lua, an object is just a hash, and there's a bit of syntactic sugar to call a hash element if it happens to con
