Rakudo Perl 6 and MoarVM Performance Advances - Jonathan Worthington (_jnthn_)

Perl 6 is a language specification. Rakudo is a compiler for Perl 6. Rakudo Star (or Rakudo *) is a distribution that contains the Rakudo compiler, documentation and some useful modules. MoarVM and JVM are Process Virtual Machines. They provide an interface between the compiler and the underlying operating system or machine. If you don’t know which to choose, try MoarVM first. You can always switch to the JVM if MoarVM doesn’t suit your needs.

This example uses Rakudo Star 2015.02, but development is progressing quickly, so please be sure to check for the latest version. You should consult the README file contained in the tarball for more up-to-date and detailed information.
