First, Perl and Java are usually compiled into byte code that is peephole optimized using JIT techniques.
I'm pretty sure Perl isn't JIT compiled. Java, .NET, and ActionScript 3 are, Python can be with Psyco (on 32-bit x86), and I think Perl 6 will be, but Perl 5 just interprets the bytecode. I absolutely agree with all your other points though. I've toyed with the idea of a Python rewrite myself, but it really wouldn't be worth it. - Jacob _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
