#2Cool. I am glad there has been enough support and supporters over the years to push it to the finish. Compiled native executables, concurrency, async code blocks, and much more. I look forward to learning as soon as I get a chance. Hoping that companies adopt as well.

#3Wow, the entire Perl community is there.

Faster than Perl5 with Moose, but slower than similar languages with similar features.
But there are not many with this impressive feature set.

Shame it's slower than existing work. We know pretty well how to optimise dynamic languages these days.
You overlook the addendum in the parent post.

I don't think so - it's still 'slower than similar languages with similar features', so not sure what difference it makes that there aren't many languages to compare against, if when we do compare it's still slower.
I'd be interested to see what features there are that make the system slower in general, even when they aren't being used. I did a lot of work in my PhD on making odd features not affect the performance of Ruby code when they aren't being used.
Do you know what they are?
