Some thingsBetter living through biologically-inspired optimization What will Perl 6 look like?Judging from the example code available, it will still be dirty, ugly shit: full of & * @ # $ {} -> and the like. Blegh. Making a language look like input to half a dozen unrelated Unix scripting/sys admin tools from the '80s might have made sense in the 80s, but hopefully we have moved on to better things. The subtext of the above claims is that how a language looks and feels matters. In fact, to me it matters a lot. Add a commentyou're not logged in |
