Does this mean that Dan is conceeding to Guido, or am I missing something? Also, when/where at OSCON is all of this supposed to take place?
--TWH -----Original Message----- From: Leopold Toetsch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 24, 2004 3:25 AM To: Perl 6 Internals Cc: Dan Sugalski Subject: Pie-thon state 5 - and final Below is the last summary of the attempt to implement enough of Python to run the Pie-thon benchmarks - within 5 weeks. Four and a half of seven programs are running. Albeit this experiment did fail, it IMHO has brought Parrot a lot further. Valuable interals like integer->bigint promotion are vastly implemented. We'll have to sort out, what we will keep in core and what should be moved into a Python or maybe a general HLL support library. But before starting over, we will have to go through some of the issues that arise, when HLL borders are crossed. E.g.: PyString + PMC := concat PyString % PMC := sprintf And there is of course the question, if we should really be "bug"-compatible >>> False=42 >>> if False: ... print "aha", False ... aha 42 Have fun, leo
