HN discussionThe old FOSS model is not compatible with the kind of people who are being drawn into it these days. It worked decently with thick-skinned, more-or-less autistic men who communicated relatively infrequently over email and had an understanding that they weren't beholden to anybody. I don't think it worked as well in the good old days as you think. A lot of Perl's problems can be attributed to one of those old men, To…

HN discussionSeems to support the vast majority of the spec: http://rakudo.de/ (something like 85% to 90% to my naked eye as at July). And according to Rakudo status page ( http://rakudo.org/status ) below are the common things that don't quite work yet: * big integers * nested package/grammar/class declarations * typed arrays and attributes * state variables * multi-level wrapping * macros * threads/concurrency * longest-token…

HN discussionIt seems like it is very simple to me: You should always code with your performance requirements in mind. But you shouldn't do detailed optimization until you have some sort of profiling feedback. You have to do your basic coding with your performance requirements in mind, because it is all too easy to come up with code that can never meet your performance requirements, no matter how much you profile and optimize it…
