Flavio Glock On Perl, Java, Compilers And Virtual Machines

 An interview with Flavio Glock that takes as its starting point his brand new project, PerlOnJava, a native compiler that turns Perl into Java bytecode and runs it. 

We've interviewed Flavio a couple of times before on his previous project, Perlito. Perlito is a compiler collection that implements a subset of Perl 5 and Perl 6 and compiles Perl 5 or Perl 6 programs into various backends, including JavaScript, Python, Ruby and Go. But it was also designed with extensibility from the ground up so it could be extended to other backends further along the line. That point came about 7 years ago with the new backend being that of Java.
