Hi,
From what I can understand of the parrot internals docs, the
native data structures correspond closely to perl in that
there are scalars, arrays and hashes. I think perl5 is weaker
for the lack of an ordered map type - and e.g. the C++ STL
would lend some support to the idea that that is quite a
fundamental concept for programming.
I'm guessing that "my %x is ordered" (or something along
those lines) could make syntactic sense in perl 6, and
an extension could always contrive it if not, but
will parrot make available any support - e.g. by providing
a red-black tree or skiplist structure or something?
Regards
Anthony
