well i can tell you disagree with his judgement and i don't blame you. but
what's more is that this topic really isn't dead in my mind either. people
are still disgusing in on small scales. larry and damian haven't finished
their disgusions on it i'm sure aswell. it's one of the biggest deals in
perl6. probablly the biggest is the sigil change which i happen to like
unlike most people i've talked to. what do you guys think about
attributes? i think they are reasonably good for variables but i get hazy
when they are applied to values. i'm not sure why. maybe cause i've never
seen it. anyone ever seen anything like it? i supose my biggest turn off
was the "0 is true" example. they should really retire that as an example
:) any way ignore the email. i'm still happy to disguss it.
