I don't known why parrot is on the wrong way all the time, no matter whoever lead this project. And parrot is on the beautiful vision way, which is so ridiculous.
>From the market view: 1. Parrot never does things better for her HLL client, no for her ultimate client. PBC? Bad, there are so many code are for pbc, see src/packfile, hard to maintain. GC? Most are bad, except gms2, see src/gc, most are not used, not be removed. PCC? The most bad things, so slow, so many code, hard to maintain. IMCC? Bad bad, so bad, but it's in core, though nobody likes it. IO? Bad, Now no body want to maintain it. PMC, see src/pmc, so slow core, so many code, who use it? PMC system, bad, so big so slow, but they said 6model should be developed out of Parrot, though PMC system is bad, now parrot's bigest client use PMC and 6model all together. NCI? Bad, no body use it, it doesn't support string directly unexpectedly. Thread? "Yes, it's good", the develop said. Does the market want to use it ? how to use it? Memory use? Bad, Parrot fib(28).pir use 40M~59M on win32 x86 system. 59 - 40 = 19, it's because gc is not precise, me thinks. 2. And now, "we should remove any thing our bigest HLL client use, whatever, so long as parrot itself is not broken", said Parrot. I'don't know why, why they always do the opposite way, which seems wrongish. She don't want improve itself to meet her HLL client, but drop her Bigest HLL client, and look for potential client. I do not oppose, But please improve yourself first, see 1. Serve existing HLL client better, so other HLL client can have enough confidence. To the leaders of Parrot, whoever, please give the HLL client more right to speak, don't talk to your self. Don't' say you have Winxed which is not maintained for at least a year, and nobody use from last years. 3. I'm not negative, I only criticize the parrot. Don't drive bacek and then drive me. Any way, bacek gives parrot a better GC, save rakudo spec test time about 30%. 4, Again, Please give the HLL client more right to speak, don't talk to your self. 5."Bitter medicine cures sickness; unpalatable advice Benefits conduct", Chiese proverb, it's what I can give. Listen, or not, is your matter, anyway. --- Jimmy Zhuo _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
