If you've had a specific problem with Perl's speed, memory use, or
whatever, in a particular AI application, then that would seem to be a
problem.  But "some people run big AI jobs" or "other people will want
better memory use" just seems like pointlessly abstract argument.
Code is much more interesting than hypotheticals.
