Larry Wall once warned that the "return..." syntax may be removed at some point.
"return..." is a common idiom in many programming languages, and
keeping it around might help programmers ease their transition to
raku/perl6. So I'd hate to see "return" go away--at least for the
foreseeable future.
I don't see 'return' disappearing.
What was meant, I think, is the "returns" syntax:
sub a() returns Str { "foo" }
vs
sub a(--> Str) { "foo" }
I would like to see "returns" and "-->" expanded
to cover multiple variables.
