This looks like a huge project, even with AI help... I have a sweet spot for perl but I'm honestly not sure if the current community has the bandwidth and interest to sustain an alternative implementation. At the very least it should be ported to MacOS too. Breaking with XS is a bold decision. Best of luck though!!
- weare138 6mo agoI'm kind of curious how it compares to some of the current concurrency solutions for Perl because there is a bunch of them now: https://metacpan.org/pod/Coro https://metacpan.org/pod/Coro https://metacpan.org/pod/MCE https://metacpan.org/pod/MCE https://metacpan.org/pod/OpenMP https://metacpan.org/pod/OpenMP https://metacpan.org/dist/UV https://metacpan.org/dist/UV

- T3chn0crat 6mo agoThe 11000 LOC regex engine runs against the original regex engine test suite. I don't know the latest census, but it was quite good actually. The parser is also quite good by now. Perl5 had to bootstrap pperl with parsing in the beginning, but not anymore. The AI tar pits are real. "We'll use the regex crate - it will be fine." And me being like: "No." OTOH, the AI kept telling me that I'm absolutely right, so it must be good. ;-)
