Where can I read this stong spec? What I've seen so far is good, but it hasn't imparted to me enough to be sure that it'll handle anything Larry could desire. Larry is more inventive than most. What I've seen so far resembles a software CPU, which be analogy should be able to do anything from run Quake III to compile Java. Does that mean it's well-suited to compiling Perl? I don't know - I haven't seen enough of the design. > some areas such as GC need more spec work as we don't know how the > language will affect it (DESTROY, etc.). Careful - Dan smacks people that use GC and DESTROY in the same sentence. -sam
