Hi,
I think featurewise Rakudo is now at a point where it could already be
use for some serious work. Surely many things are missing, but (for me)
the two most important things - good OOP support and types - are already
in. And the syntax is just lovely :) (I think I have a syntax-fetish... :)

Hi,
thanks for the replies!
I have a better understanding of these performance issues now.
(sidenote: replacing $i++ with $i = $i + 1 in my original example
gives a 4 times speed up).
Hi Chris,
In addition to Patrick's excellent reply, I'd like to mention that
one way to help the project

Yes, why not?
I was planning to exercise a little bit, anyhow.

I know these benchmarks have their value, but I am more interested in
real practical code that I have previously written to solve a problem.
I know that the Rakudo code will be slower than the perl 5.
The point of the benchmark is not "oh look, it's slower than Perl 5".

I think you are confusing profiling with benchmarking. Profiling
helps you identify where a problem is. Benchmarking helps you compare
two different versions of the same routine.
Whatever. I have a series of programs that test the speed of various
aspects of the languag
