That RFC is from over a year ago, what makes you think it's going to happen soon..? It still remains to be seen if they do it in a nice, clean transparent way, or the Perl way :) Anyway, the other problems plaguing Perl still apply (having to worry about resources&memory). >What gets people riled up about these benchmarks is they see them as a whole >picture slam against their favorite language, even if the benchmark is >pretty clear about testing something pretty narrow which I think these are, >they are remarkably honest for a benchmark.
