Well, that doesn't play well in revolution when it comes to the powerball
and other lottery checking software with millions of ticket cross

about an hour in PERL.
I've written several state software lottery checking systems and you.
Introduce a GUI and it slugs down.
I'm not sure it's a matter of having a GUI or not. After all, any
program will need to display its results if it's to be useful. I would
think it has more to do with how that GUI is used.
Computationally-intensive operations can, and arguably should, be
performed purely in memory, with no updates to the GUI until it comes
time to display the result. In this manner, Rev and Perl have much in
common.
Since Perl is an interpreted language and uses Regex for much of its
pattern-matching abilities, I'd be interested to see how the same
algorithm also implemented in Transcript compares.
My hunch is that if the program you mentioned were crafted with the same
inputs and outputs in a well-optimized manner in both Perl and
Transcript, that the Transcript version would perform at least as well.
Anyone have time on their hands to give this a try?
