Perl6 array indeed. It also reminds me of PDL. i like the > data model. It looks like FAME done right. > Are you suggesting we borrow some features of it? Take some inspiration on it to Perl 6 implementation? I really didn't get your point... And I think most of the ideas that K talks about we've already discussed... Could you be more specific about your intents about that language? Do you have more information about it (some interesting syntax, or some scripts that could inspire new features or interesting points?) > > And an > > abstraction on IPC for different platforms is also interesting, however I > > don't know if that's really needed if you've got Threads. > > Huh? How do you connect IPC and Threads? > Well, the use I see for IPC is making processes in the same computer sharing and exchanging data. (Is there another one?) And that can be done by using several threads instead of processes most of the time. IPC between processes in different computers (which I think is sockets) is better abstracted by something like RPC. I think SOAP (XML-based simple object access protocol, or something like that) will mostly become the `recommended' way to do it. Do you have interesting points about K we're missing? - Branden
