The crash was not the fault of the program, but of Rakudo, so rewriting did not actually help. I updated my Stack Overflow post that is linked in the article with details.

Fagzal, Rakudo is brand new. It’s barely even had it’s chain lubed, tire pressure checked, and basket put on. Optimization will come, give it time.

@Fagzal, no one is asking people to use rakudo for serious projects with this performance.

I think the point is: you can try rakudo for fun projects today to get a feel of all the cool new perl6 features and you’ll be able to use it tomorrow for serious/mission critical projects when performance gets better.

It’s just so sad… There’s just no way anybody will (seriously) consider Rakudo for a (serious) project with a performance like this. Is there a compiler anywhere that creates slower code?
