At least Perl5 core is too big. I woud like to see Perl6 has the similiar
structure
as Apache. In Apache, there are "ap", "main", "modules" .. directories, only core
stuff
are put in "main" directory. I woud like Perl6 do the same thing, leave socket
etc stuff
outside of core.
By the way, I took some time learn Guile(Gnu version of Scheme). The Guile is an
extension
language as well, which allow you embed it in your program very easily.
The most interesting thing is its "Faster Integers", which don't have to malloc
memory to store
integer. Take 5 minutes read this, hope it's helpful.
