Well... the oo6.rb does define the setter methods. But in any case, they are "plain vanilla" getter/setter code for their respective languages, and somehow they manage to be faster than Parrot. (Note that the oo[56].pl could be written to be a bit faster by eliminating the lexicals and the @_ shifting, but that's beside the point of trying to speed up Parrot.) That being said, people more conversant than me in Python/Ruby (or Parrot) are welcome to carefully compare the scripts to verify that the scripts really do implement the same tasks. -- Jarkko Hietaniemi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.iki.fi/jhi/ "There is this special biologist word we use for 'stable'.
