#2This is one of the most awesome thing's I've ever seen. I guess it would be a bad idea to use it for production code... Too bad though.
Re: Campher: Perl embedded in Go
#3Sounds useful, and campher.c looks like a piece of code that should be easy to repurpose for writing bindings to Perl in other languages.

Am I missing something?
My C days was a long time ago, but this looks like simple and elegant stuff to me. What would be the problem with production code? The Go language?

I think it might have a bug or two yet. Perl is reference counted and Go is garbage collected. Keeping those two synchronized was a bit tricky and I still fear I messed it up somewhere... I need to re-read the Perl docs on when I'm supposed to up & down the Perl refcounts.

There's no better way to find the bugs than to use the code in production ;-)
It was a great talk, BTW.

#8Not to steal any thunder, but thought I'd point out Leont's great C++ perl bindings.
https://github.com/Leont/libperl--
He has type safety and easy import/export of objects baked in.

Perl's behind the scenes C code is rather gnarly. Trusting a new tool to get it right the first time is a bit much. Once I'm comfortable it's had some time to age properly, I'd be more than willing to deploy it.

#10It's pretty easy to embed Perl in another language. Check out perl4caml ...
