Then I see this:

It's nice for all those people coming from C and Java, who started to
learn Perl.

Um.

No.

The perl5 behaviour is *less hateful* for people coming from 
traditional Algol-family languages as well.

I expect people to hate that there are now 5 syntaxes for grep :)

I'm surprised you can't do (grep '/foo/ @bar).

Or @bar grep: /foo/.

Or {...@bar /foo grep}

Or {grep:foo,bar}

Or apply @bar {grep /foo/}

Or (@bar : grep) 'foo'

Perl's got lots of languages to mine syntax from yet.
