I think for the goals you listed, the timing would be good for getting involved in v5 on mvm using 6model effort.
When coding MoarVM, the group working on it switched from APR to libuv. I don't get the idea that there was anything wrong with APR. But that libuv's async io wound up being a better fit. 6model is the metaobject layer (similar to Moose). v5 is the Perl5 grammar a couple people are working on to run Perl5 on the infrastructure being built for Perl6. The Rakudo Perl efforts seems to have been picking up steam and adding developers over the last year. Probably a good time to start hanging out on #perl6. http://6guts.wordpress.com/ On Thu, Sep 12, 2013 at 2:44 AM, Teal <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, it sounds interesting. > How much time would it take per "x" cycle, and how many times would my > brain explode per cycle? > > Teal > > > 1: the team gets very familiar with APR > 2: the team gets very familiar with Perl internals > 3: Perl (the language) gets abstracted away from Perl (the compatibility > layer) > > I'm not sure if any of those meet the "besides" criterion. > > On Wed, Sep 11, 2013 at 11:31 PM, Teal <[email protected]> wrote: > >> What would the advantages be? >> Besides sheer geek bravado display :) >> >> Teal >> >> >> Anyone for creating a fork of Perl that uses APR for platform >> abstraction (instead of native Perl platform abstraction?) >> >> >> >> -- >> You've got to wiggle before you can crawl >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> kc mailing [email protected]http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/kc >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> kc mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/kc >> > > > > -- > You've got to wiggle before you can crawl > > > _______________________________________________ > kc mailing [email protected]http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/kc > > > > _______________________________________________ > kc mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/kc >
