yes, and Ruby borrowed a lot from Perl, so its good to see some of Ruby
going back to Perl

bravo!!!  I didn't meant to compare it to anything, I am only answering the
previous post that a language needs to lives before having a logo... so now
you know it already has 2 lives.

because Pugs is implemented comes from a very evolved and foreign language,
Haskell.  Threading is an old problem, lots of solutions are already there.
You can read the Pugs author's comment on the subject here:

I agree, and Parrot is probably not the Holy Grail...  but what if people
made it this way?  especially considering mod_parrot, an all language apache
module, if one day it performs great, that would mean a great simplification
for web deployment...  its is yet to be done, but you never know what people
a capable of when they want it.

you're right... but "done well" is the key in here...  gratuitious bashing
does not show this... I'm really not saying you did that, but when you throw
oil at the fire it is not long before the disrespectful brazier emerges.

totally agree, and this feels like were finally getting somewhere :D
