Tobia, any update on progress of script compilation? It seems, given the current state of non-compiled scripts (see bug discussion: <[perl #127330] [SLOW] 10_000 lines with ｢say ‘a’;｣ take 16 seconds to run>), a compilation capability would give Perl 6 advocacy a boost while other optimizations mentioned by Liz in the bug discussion continue. > These executable would contain the Perl 6 interpreter, and the > precompiled script in one file. Could auto-compilation be an option (and an auto-recompile based on the source script's hash)? Thanks. Cheers! -Tom
